Newly identified coral reef crustacean named after late reggae performer Bob Marley.

A small parasitic blood-feeder that was found in fish that inhabit the coral reefs in the Caribbean has been named after the Jamaican stoner - the little critter has been designated Gnathia marleyi.

(Elvis has a wasp named after him...I'll have to research this.)

I saw this on a different online science journal. Just have
to be notorious of "of note" to get a crustacean or other
bug named after you. A new butterfly species was noted
here last week, first time ever in our area: probably due
to the drought.

Was that 'a new species' or a butterfly 'new to your area' Luke?

It is a butterfly new to the area: sorry I did not make that
clear. Never before found here: probably something to do with
the drought brought it in.

Land so dry made the butterfly, flutter by.

Thou art a poet??

But no one would know it
Some of the thyme
The verses don't rhyme
And I often just can
Not get the danged thigs to anything like scan.

heh,heh
(which reminds me, anyone heard from buffalo shrdlu)?

Not in ages. I hope he hasn't followed his moniker and gone extinct!

(which reminds me, anyone heard from buffalo shrdlu)?

Yes. He posts on Facebook.

As long as he's OK then.

Dunno how okay he is at this moment: he just had a close family member die. Sympathies, Honey.
