A new insect has been named after the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump because of its unique features.
US President-elect, Donald Trump
A new species of moth has been named after the US president-elect, Donald Trump.
The moth was discovered by scientist Dr. Vazrick Nazari when they
were looking at a collection of moths from the Museum of Entomology, at
the University of California in America.
They noticed that one of the moths was different to the others and didn't match.
After a bit more research the moth was revealed to be a brand new
species, which Dr Nazari decided to name 'Neopalpa donaldtrumpi' after
Donald Trump. The scientist said the moths bright blonde scales and
unique hairdo reminded them of the president elect.
However, Donald Trump is not the only president to have an animal
named after them, Barak Obama had a fish called 'Tosanoides Obama' named
after him last year!
