Greta Thunberg: New beetle named after climate activist - A newly discovered species of beetle

A newly-discovered species of beetle has been named after young climate activist Greta Thunberg. Nelloptodes gretae bears little resemblance to its namesake - it is less than 1mm long, and has no wings or eyes. The insect does, however, have two long pigtail-like antennae. Scientist Dr Michael Darby said he chose the name because he was “immensely impressed“ by the Swedish teenager’s environmental campaigning. Contact Us at: Batuhansu@
