Tetraroginae, or Tetrarogidae, was first formally recognised as a taxonomic grouping in 1949 by the South African ichthyologist J.L.B. Smith. [1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World treats this as a subfamily of the scorpionfish family Scorpaenidae, [3] however other authorities treat it as a valid family, the Tetrarogidae. [4]
This is a list of invertebrates, animals without a backbone, that are commonly kept in freshwater aquaria by hobby aquarists.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is a government agency of the U.S. state of Oregon responsible for programs protecting Oregon fish and wildlife resources and their habitats. [1] The agency operates hatcheries, issues hunting and angling licenses, advises on habitat protection, and sponsors public education programs.
The western meadowlark is Oregon's state bird. The North American beaver is Oregon's state mammal. One way of presenting the fauna of Oregon is classification by lifezone. Oregon is a vastly diverse state in terms of topography and climate. Five of the seven recognized lifezones are identified in Oregon. [1]
Sphex pensylvanicus is a large, black wasp, significantly larger than their congener Sphex ichneumoneus (the great golden digger wasp). [6] Males are smaller than females, at only 19–28 mm (0.7–1.1 in) long compared with typical female sizes of 25–34 mm (1.0–1.3 in). [2]
Vespula pensylvanica, the western yellowjacket, is a Nearctic species of wasp in the genus Vespula. [1] [2] It is native to regions of North America, largely in areas with northern temperate climates. Its reproductive behavior is constrained by cold weather, which successfully reduces the number of western yellowjackets in cold months.
