Greenish blue. Butterflies in the subfamily Polyommatinae are called blues. Other contradictory blues are silvery blue and Palos Verdes blue (Green Sticks).
Ypsolopha sp-sw (lep). Is it a provisional designation before a real species name is assigned? Is it Egyptian written without vowels?
Western Black Widow - Viuda Negra Norteña. Which way did she go, west or north?

The common name for Oedemera flavipes is a little unwieldy; the Yellow-legged Thick-legged Flower Beetle. Surely this could be simplified to Thick Yellow-legged Flower Beetle. Though personally I’d like a little more artistic licence, how about the Custard-legged Flower Beetle?

Leopard slug — babosa europea tigre. The front end looks leopardish; the hind end looks tigerish.
Pellitory of the wall is not an animal, but I find it funny because it’s redundant. “Pellitory” is from “parietāria”, which means “of the wall”.

TIL the family Acaridae has the English common name “Stored Products Mites”.
Can you get rid of an infestation by taking everything out of cupboards, dressers, desks, etc. and dumping it in the middle of the floor so it’s no longer stored?

I had a child that tried that…

I know that these aren’t animals, but the name ‘bladderworts’ seems highly suggestive of part of one :)

Potato-Smell seems like somewhat of an odd name for anything, but I guess it must smell like potatoes. (It’s a plant.)
For actual animals, how about Fatmucket?

Beloved Emarginea moth.
Matacacatas is a spider wasp in the genus Pepsis; it sounds like a tonguetwister. It’s “mata” (kills) plus “cacatas” (some tarantulas); most verb-noun compounds in Spanish and Catalan use the plural form of the noun, and the plural is the same as the singular.
ETA: En una guarida de matacacatas hay un matacacatas, siete cacatas, y siete matacacatitos. (In a tarantula hawk’s burrow are a tarantula hawk, seven tarantulas, and seven tarantula hawklets.) Can you improve the tonguetwister?

Poking around Wiktionary’s bivalve category, I found that mucket is a kind of bivalve, of which the fatmucket is a species. But it has no etymology for “mucket”.

Honestly, most of these bivalve names are either funny or just plain weird. (From the Canaiad project homepage.)

Is there a fancy pocketbook?

No, but there is a Fat pocketbook (and several others that are less humorous).
