Eggs. One might even call it… “bootylicious.” So he named it Scaptia beyonceae [skap-tee-uh], after Queen Bey herself.Golden booty or not, most people don’t appreciate the 4000+ species of horseflies in this world — probably because their bites hurt like the dickens and it’s really annoying when one keeps buzzing past your eyeball. )], honored both the place where the fossil was found — Kootenay National Park in British Columbia — and referenced the animal’s most distinctive feature with chela, the Latin word for claw.

It’s a type of trilobite [try-luh-bite] — a very old, fossilized group of extinct marine arthropods — and its official scientific name is just straight up Han solo.Researcher Samuel Turvey does admit that his friends dared him to name something after a Star Wars character.

Care tips would be great too. But the name is actually very clever. Rare and hard to find. That’s why, today, the rules for naming a new species aren’t very strict.If you find it, you get to name it, and pretty much anything goes, as long as you use the Latin alphabet and the name isn’t too offensive. In 1753, a Swedish botanist named Carl Linnaeus [lih-NEE-us] tried to fix this problem by developing the simpler, two-word system that we still use today: every species has both a generic name — what we’d call a genus name — followed by its trivial, or species name.He argued that it didn’t really matter what the name was, as long as every species got a unique label and everybody agreed to use it.

Heteropoda lunula Captive breed Huntsman Spider. Which is exactly what it sounds like. The fossil suggests the animal was a toothy, two-legged terror, probably as big as a T-Rex, and as scary as Sauron himself, although without more fossils it’s hard to say for sure.

A small, oval sac holds a minimum of 100 eggs Which makes the name even more appropriate, since Tolkien probably named his dragon Smaug after the German word for squeezing through a hole.And finally, no list of fun names would be complete without a Star Wars reference, and my favorite has got to be Han solo. painful but will not cause any long term problems.

Broad and thick, with a distinct lump on its forehead, a Sauroniops skull looks a bit different than other two-legged dinosaurs from that area. H davidbowie ventral.jpg. The spider species Heteropoda boiei, commonly known as Lichen Huntsman Spider, belongs to the genus Heteropoda, in the family Sparassidae.Heteropoda boiei spiders have been sighted 2 times by contributing members. Like how, when researchers identified a new genus of small, brown and yellow fungus beetles they dubbed it Gelae [jelly], after the Latin gelatus, meaning “congealed” or “jellied.” This made a kind of sense since the tiny round beetles eat, and, therefore, spend most of their time living on slime molds.The researchers then went on to name five of its species Jelly bean, Jelly belly, Jelly donut, Jelly roll, and Jelly fish, probably just because they could.On the other hand, if you’ve got a new species waiting for a name, you could always just name it after a celebrity. The species name honours David Bowie, with particular reference to songs such as "Glass Spider" (from the 1987 album Never Let Me Down), as well as the 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and the resemblance of the frontal view of the spider to the singer's painted face in his early career.

Color: Brown is the dominant color, though the shades may vary, like, theHeteropoda davidbowie has a reddish- brown body, while the Heteropoda maxima appear yellowish-brown. When in their juvenile stage, they have a lighter hue, which Trilobites were also diverse, widely distributed, and if you can find one, they’re often nearly as well preserved as Harrison Ford in carbonite. Researchers think males may have used their head-lumps to compete for ladies with some good old fashioned head butting.But Sauron’s not the only hobbit enemy getting props. ROVNER, J. S.

Plus there’s that whole Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars thing, too.While some researchers may name a species after a celebrity to celebrate that person’s achievements, others may just notice a, uh, particular resemblance between their species and a famous person.In 2011, when curator Bryan Lessard began describing a previously unknown species of Australian horsefly from an old museum collection, he was immediately mesmerized by the fly’s spectacular lower abdomen, bedazzled with dense golden hairs. painful but will not cause any long term problems.
