Aloe imalotensis - a species from Madagascar.

However, that method seems to based on the observation ID, not the taxa ID, which is 424488 for this aloe.
If I put my dates into the taxa ID bar in DDMMYY format I get Blue Garden Flatworm (Caenoplana coerulea )

This little fellow is apparently originally from Australia and New Zealand, but is now invasive everywhere.
Personally, I always use the international standard date format (YYYYMMDD) to avoid confusion, o that returns different species:
Morella parvifolia a shrub from northern South America, or, using the taxa method, Camptodes texanus , a beetle from near the Texas/Mexico border.
I see it was separated from rotundifolia , so probably a pretty similar one?
I get a Euphorbia as my birthday observation - happy with it, I like that genus. It is also from a user (and curator) I know (not personally though).
Additionally, I filtered for observations made on my birthday - there are 5 in total, but 4 from the same observer

Somewhat amusingly given my last name, I get a beetle.

I got “Plants (Kingdom Plantae)” and the plants in the observation were cultivated. :-(

Mine was an Arabian Toad-headed Agama from the UAE.
phew at least I’m not alone, I thought my birthday was cursed or something-
Depends on the style of the date (DDMMYYYY, MMDDYYYY, YYYYMMDD, DDMMYY, MMDDYY, YYMMDD), I get:
Mudwort (Limosella grandiflora) from South Africa
Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) from USA
Cut-leaved Crane’s-bill (Geranium dissectum) from England
False Black Widow (Steatoda grossa) from USA
Diatom (Bacillariophyceae) from USA
Darkling Beetle larva (Tenebrionidae) from New Zealand
A nice range of taxa and locations.

Cool – an endangered plant in Mexico:
Especially cool because I am of half Mexican ancestry.

Amazingly I got a grass in my home state. Freaky says the grasslands-lover and invasive-brome-puller! Quite a pretty shot!
DDMMYYYY also returned a pretty great one! I feel so lucky! Heck yeah Nudibranch!!!

Alas, I have nothing
“Sorry, that doesn’t exist!
Even our dedicated search mole couldn’t find anything! ”
Tried again with YYYYMMDD (which is more sensible anyway, IMO) and got Telegraph Weed (Heterotheca grandiflora ), which, although not rare, is a local plant I’m quite fond of.
I got a Trailing Fuzzy-Bean (Strophostyles helvola)
