“The reason for this choice of name is to bring wider public attention to the need to continue protecting fragile habitats in the US that still contain many undescribed species."

When I think of protecting fragile habitats I can think of no better poster boy than Mr. Micturition. And I think the Scots would agree.

Well, despite its new name, it’s a rather attractive creature … as moths go.

It’s a great moth. The greatest. It’s a really big discovery. Really great.

Trump: These liberals are just nasty.

He wants to name things for Donald Trump, he can name these two Chihuahua-Jack Russell mixes friends of mine have. They’re hyperactive, they beg for stuff all the time, they’re complete idiots and they never shut the fuck up.

It was no contest after the moth was overheard telling a lightening bug of his success with willows, “They’ll let 'ya grab 'em by the pussy!”
