Scientist Names New Insect After Donald Trump. See Why by OnowuOra(m): 10:39pm On Jan 18, 2017
Called 'Neopalpa donaldtrumpi', this endangered moth has been named in honour of president-elect Donald Trump. The scientist behind the new name said he hoped it will encourage the president-elect to uphold conservation measures.
Evolutionary biologist Dr Vazrick Nazari said the new insect, which is a type of twirler moth, bore an uncanny resemblance to Mr Trump because of the yellowish-white scales on its head.
It also has 'unique Instruments' which has never before been seen in a male of a similar species. Its genital 'valvae are strongly curved' with an 'acute tip,' according to the study.
Revealing the flying insect in the latest edition of the journal Zookeys, he said the tuft reminded him of the incoming president's hairstyle.
It had been discovered hidden in the collections if the Bohart Museum of Entomology at the University of California. It is native to southern California and Baja Mexico.
