Newly Discovered Mexican Moth Species Named After Donald Trump
An entomologist from Ottowa, Ontario has discovered a new species of moth and has named it after Donald Trump. The President-elect and the insect share a similar hairstyle.
A miniscule moth with a wingspan of just 0.4 inches (9 millimeters) is the first species to be named for the soon-to-be president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Yellow and white scales topping the moth’s head resemble Trump’s signature hairstyle, inspiring the name Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, wrote evolutionary biologist Vazrick Nazari, a researcher from Ottowa, Canada, in a new study.
The moth’s habitat extends from Southern California in the U.S. through Baja California in Mexico. The wall that the president-elect has proposed building along the border between the two countries could divide that stretch.
Presumably the Neopalpa donaldtrumi also has very tiny hands.
The moth’s head scales are yellowish-white and “often rough,” with additional orange-yellow coloration that Nazari described as “distinctive.” Their miniscule bodies are off-white, and their wings are brown or grayish-brown, Nazari wrote in the study.
While this is the first species to bear the president-elect’s name, Trump’s hairstyle also inspired the informal moniker “Trumpapillar” in September 2016, for the extremely hairy orange-yellow caterpillars of the flannel moth, native to the Peruvian Amazon.
There is no word yet on whether Trump plans to sue the moth for trademark infringement, but we’re assuming that he wants the bug to stay in Mexico.
So I named a species after @realDonaldTrump. Maybe now he’ll make conservation of fragile US ecosystems a priority?https://t.co/jetz83AHaC

Probably not, but he may make it a priority to mock you as a no talent loser and criticize your net worth.
