Candy Pooh-Bah Registered: 09/21/10 Posts: 1705 Loc: down under	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. read this (Elvis has a wasp named after him...I'll have to research this.)

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. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5370 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	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. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----
