Donald Trump Named After a Moth – Neopalpa donaldtrumpi

DrDonald Trump is back in the news. It is generally believed that Trump will be the candidate of the Republican Party in the American presidential election to be held in November this year. The last time he was inaugurated as the President was on January 20, 2017. Exactly three days before that, a new moth found in America and Mexico was presented to the world through the scientific publication ‘Zoo Keys’. The person is small but the name is big. Its creator, Vazrick Nazari, named it after Donald Trump: Neopalpa donaldtrumpi. The rule is that when naming animals, if the name is masculine, the last sound should be ‘e’. That’s how ‘Trump’ became ‘Trumpy’. So far they have only been found in Southern California in the United States and Baja California in Mexico. When the wings are spread, the length between the two ends is less than a centimeter. The golden scales on the head and the orange-yellow upper part of the forewings are distinctive. Still don’t know what the food is and what the life cycle is like. There is one more species in the Neopalpa genus – Neopalpa neonata (Neopalpa neonata).
