Hi all,
This List is grouped by date, latest additions first. After May 2006, all species are listed together. Prior to that, there is a general list of species other than O. bimaculoides and a separate list for bimacs and an In Memorium list for those that have passed away. This is followed by earlier lists of bimac siblings.
The List of Our Octopuses January 2007 - present continues this list.
