I believe these words (mostly taxonomic epithets) ought to be a priority to add to Wiktionary.

Feel free to remove items when the entry is created.

1. Roselle (plant), Hibiscus sabdariffa
2. Blue-tailed Skink, Cryptoblepharus egeriae - (deprecated template usage) Egeria was a Roman nymph - apart from that, I'm stuck
3. Cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha - no idea
4. Yellow-bellied Weasel, Mustela kathiah
5. Potato cod, Epinephelus tukula
6. Hadada Ibis, Bostrychia hagedash

1. Paracanthurus hepatus - regal tang (fish) - looks like it ought to be related to the liver (hepatic etc), but I don't see why (we have (deprecated template usage) hepaticus) -- hepar mentions "a kind of fish"? No idea if it's related.

3. chamaemorus stercoralis - cloudberry
4. Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust (honey plant)
5. Manilkara zapota - sapodilla (fruit)
