Hi, Frank Indiviglio here. Iā€™m a herpetologist, zoologist, and book author, recently retired from a career spent at several zoos, aquariums, and museums, including over20 years with the Bronx Zoo[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
I always advise young students intent on reaching fame to study invertebratesā€¦uncounted millions remain to be discovered, even in such unlikely places as Manhattanā€™s Central Park (a centipede, in recent years). Almost every week, an exciting new insect, arachnid, crustacean, or other invertebrate is uncovered, and some of those found in 2014 have been especially surprising. Included among this yearā€™s amazing finds are ā€œliving skeletonsā€, see-through snails, gymnastic spiders, and screaming-pink millipedes. Most have barely been studied, while others were found earlier but are only now being described in detail. The following discoveries represent just the tip of the ā€œnew species icebergā€ā€¦please be sure to post your own favorites below.
