Evolutionary biologist Vazrick Nazari has identified a new centimetre- wide moth, disclosing his finding on ZooKeys.
It has a silky head of bright yellow scales, which the moth develops in adulthood, and its head has been described as orange-yellow in colouration, the body is white and the wings are brown or greyish.
Also an important detail - its genitalia is “comparatively smaller” than that of the Neopalpa neonata, its close relative.
Sounds like a good match to me.
The moth is now know by the scientific name of Neopalpa donaldtrumpi.
You know it's quite an honor to have a new species names after you.
I just hope that Trump appreciates it.
I know I do.
