Australian inspired to name horse fly species Beyonce
Bryan Lessard, a 24-year-old researcher at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization said he wanted to pay tribute to the insect’s beauty by naming it Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae.
The species had been sitting in a fly collection since it was captured in 1981 - the same year pop diva Beyonce was born.
Lessard said Beyonce would be “in the nature history books forever” and that the fly now bearing her name is “pretty bootylicious” with its golden backside.
