Spanish Shawl Facts Believe it or not, the often brilliantly colored creature known as the Spanish Shawl actually represents another type of sea slug.

This invertebrate also remains widely considered a pest, both by farmers and the general population, within the regions it inhabits. In areas of high concentration, this small […]
Goldsmith Beetle Facts The fascinating and appropriately named Goldsmith Beetle remains a little-known invertebrate. Aside from entomologists, few people outside of its native region know of this remarkable beetle.
