  1. I know fulvous, lambency, entopic, montane, hymenopteroid, geometrid, dipterist, anastomosis, samara, tyro, agglutinate, campanula, mandible, zoolatry, fritillary, ovipositor, ichneumon, casement, plangent, and phylogenetic. Again, mostly through natural history, butterflies, birds, or some medical terminology.
