The new creature is named after Donald Trump for an unexpected reason

The name of the 45th US president was chosen in a way that no one really thought of.

Recently, biologists in Southern California (USA) have found a completely new creature. It is a butterfly, currently in danger because its habitat is destroyed.

But the interesting story here is that the new butterfly is named after the 45th president of the United States - Mr. Donald Trump. Specifically, it is called Neopalpa donaldtrumpi.

Why is it named so? According to experts, this name will help butterflies look more important, thereby increasing awareness, also giving them the potential to preserve them.

However, the real reason is because this butterfly has . the same hair as Mr. Trump.

The hair of butterflies is said to be like Donald Trump.

According to Dr. Vazrick Nazari - head of research on butterflies: "The new butterfly is named after Donald Trump - the 45th president of the United States. The reason for choosing this name is because of the desire to attract attention. "The reason is more important because the first part of the butterfly has a fur that looks very similar to Mr. Trump's hair."

The new moth originated in the state of California of America and the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, along the border wall proposed by Trump between the two countries. They are living in areas with a high population density, so they face a serious risk of extinction because their natural habitat is narrowed.

This name will help butterflies look more important, thereby increasing awareness, also giving them the potential to preserve them.

It is known that Dr. Nazari found this butterfly when observing the collection at the Bohart Insect Museum at the University of California, Davis. He found that it had unprecedented traits in butterflies, and after some analysis, he confirmed that this was a new species.

This is not the first time a creature has been named after the president. Earlier in December 2016, a new species of fish called Tosanoides obama - after the name of President Barack Obama.
