What are some of your favorite cool or funny scientific names?

I made a really cool poll but it got deleted and I don't have time to remake it now.

OK I'll remake it.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.
