A jumping cockcroach, a glowing mushroom and a leech¹ that has teeth. These are the three of scientists picks for the big top ten new species decribed in 2010. The list is dissembled by the international institute for species exploration at Arizona State.

Let's start with the roach. Not since the age of dinosaurs² has the world known a roach with a verticle leap. Its legs were modified for bouncing and its eyes stick out from the sides of its heads. So it look when it leaps. The luminescent shrooms with their green glowing stems, were dubbed³ Mycena Luxaeterna or eternal light after Mozart's Requiem⁴. 
Speaking of names, an orb-weaing spider, named after Darwin made the list. A native of Madagascar, This spider spins so stronger than Kevlar into a web that can stretch across lakes and rivers .

Many of the list members were found in unusual places. A batfish as flat as pancake was dredged up from the oil-slick waters in the Gulf⁵ Mexico. A new species of antelope⁶ was found on sale at a west African bush meat market.

And, if that's not disturbing enough for you? The toothy leech was actually discovered up some dude's nose. Talk about picking a winner.
