Beyonce Gets A Horse Fly Named After Her

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is Australia’s national science agency, and one of their taxonomists (bug people) has named a rare type of horse fly after Beyonce.
That’s├óΓé¼┬ª nice. We think.
The fly has a large, golden rear end and so Beyonce immediately sprung to the researcher’s mind.
He said:

“It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly├óΓé¼Γäós 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 ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ the naming of species.”

Sounds like so much fun! Maybe we should change careers.
LOLz!
Beyonce hasn’t respond to the “honor” yet.
We wonder how she’ll feel├óΓé¼┬ª
Flattered and slightly grossed out would seem an appropriate response.
