Some fun facts!

Nauru is the smallest country with an endemic species (Nauru Reed warbler) and Belarus is the largest country with no endemic species.

This criterion includes all animals, including insects.

A snail, apparently.

"Hygromia golasi is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Hygromiidae, the hairy snails and their allies. This species is endemic to Andorra," from the Wikipedia article.

There's a few here that I believe do have (as-of-current-knowledge) endemic species.

Belarus - Hydrobaenus molleri and Hydrobaenus hvoenskiensis

Estonia - Cratyna palustricola

Kuwait - Cardiocondyla opistopsis

Luxembourg - Camptochaeta luxemburgensis

Moldova - Podothrombium dbrenitum, Phaenoglyphis proximus

Qatar - Coleusia janani

St. Kitts and Nevis - Platynus duportei and Platynus racquelae

Tuvalu - Lepidodactylus tepukapili

All are insects except for Qatar's crab and Tuvalu's gecko

Thanks!

Will check them and update the quiz.

Hard to find much information about some of these species on the web.
