Booty-licious Horse Fly is Named After Beyonce

Let's hope that pop-singer and new mom Beyonce has a good sense of humor.  It seems that Australian researchers have decided that a previously unnamed species of horse fly shall be named after Beyonce on account of its fantastic golden booty!

The Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae fly, which is found in far north Queensland, sports a spectacular gold patch on its abdomen which CSIRO insect expert Bryan Lessard says makes it the "all-time diva of flies".
"It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly’s abdomen that led me to name this fly in honour of the performer Beyonce as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy – the naming of species," Mr Lessard said in a statement released on the CSIRO blog."
