Many organisms are very similar, especially at the species level when dealing with same family and genus. Because of this, and because of the sometimes unclear relationships and development periods of each, some organisms might be difficult to classify, e.g. whether they are merely subspecies, or are different species, or are actually from a different genus but same family.
