Hibbertopterus propaganda:

Do you love horseshoes but wish they were probably bigger than you are? I have an animal for you: Hibbertopterus! An extinct anthropod (not an actual insect, just like the horseshoe crab) which could get to be between 180 and 200 centimetres (5.9–6.6 ft) long.

Viceroy butterfly propaganda:

Not to be confused with Monarch butterflies, let's give them some credit for their amazing mimicry abilities. They evolved like this to survive since Monarch butterflies are toxic so predators won't get near, isn't that cool? Also, in a symbolic way, they represent rebirth, adaptability and growth, which is really poetic and pretty.

It's not often you find an animal whose Latin name fits it as perfectly as Hibbertopterus. Like. Look at him. Obviously his name is Hibbert. What else could it be.
