Beyonce Horse Fly – Things Named After Famous People

Thing Named After Beyonce: Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae -- the 'Bootylicious' horse fly scientists named after Queen Bey

The scientific branch that studies insects is called entomology. You know what the entomology world is not ready for? JELLY. And they showed the world precisely that when they discovered a horse fly who had junk in the trunk, and didn't even know where to start naming the darn thing.

So, Bryan Lessard, an Australian researcher tapped into his pop culture knowledge and thought, "Who has more of a golden booty than Beyonce?" When he came up with the answer "No one," his next move was to name this new species of insect after Queen Bey.

Okay, seriously though, the next bee species that's discovered has to receive a name in honor of Queen Bey. Your move, entomologists. Your move.
