New Beetles!No, not the cars. These newly described and named beetles are Slime-Mold Beetles. The entymologists at Cornell decided to give them peppy names. Names honoring such folks as President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
I wish their rationale was tongue-in-cheek: Intended or not, there are now species of beetles out there bearing these fellows’ names eating the scum of the earth. Found via Science Blog. POSTED BY Cybele AT 12:53 pm |
