Please allow this new bee to introduce itself.
Australia’s Curtin University has announced the discovery of a devilish insect dubbed Megachile (Hackeriapis) lucifer after the hornlike protrusions on its face.
“When writing up the new species description I was watching the Netflix show Lucifer at the time, and the name just fit perfectly,” says Dr. Kit Prendergast, who discovered the beein the Goldfields of Western Australia.”I am also a huge fan of the Netflix character Lucifer so it was a no-brainer.”
Your move, murder hornet.
