Roy Orbison-Inspired Insect
 Published: Jan 30, 08
 Views: 1,620

This recently discovered species of beetle was named after the legendary rocker - Roy Orbison - and his wife. Entomologist, Quentin Wheeler, announced this news at a Roy Orbison Tribute Concert on Jan. 25. Why the singer of “Pretty Woman?” Supposedly, the little guy looks as if it’s wearing a tuxedo. The scientific name is Orectochilus orbisonorum and has to (arguably) be one of the coolest honors to receive.
