Scientists discover new insects all the time. Like hundreds a year. And each newly discovered creepy crawler needs a name. So one entomologist knew just the lady to use as a muse.
The previously unknown species of millipede, found in the Appalachian Mountains, was named after Taylor Swift.
Derek Hennen, lead study author and a researcher at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, is a fan of the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, and so he decided to name one of the millipede species Nannaria swiftae.
Lol I love it…
