@futurebird It's the species that is often mistaken for Haidomyrmex Tildaswindona due to morphological similarities

@BlakeRain I know hell ants never lived in our time but I still miss them so much. I wish I could see them hunting, building their nests. Doing ant stuff. Look at them!

@futurebird @BlakeRain We can't know. Maybe it was super boring watching them. Maybe the hell grasshoppers thought the hell ants were just too lazy

@futurebird There's at least two spiders named after David Bowie. He seems to be popular with taxonomists.(I do listen to him sometimes while doing labwork)

@futurebird I spotted one last week, so I can confirm that they are present on Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteropoda_davidbowieBut I didn't realise that there is an entire spider genus dedicated to Dovid Bowie and his albums:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowie_(spider)

@futurebird Has to be better than a fish named after two people, the coelacanth? Scientific name L C Smith the scientific shortening of Latimeria chalumnae Smith named after James Leonard Brierley Smith (1897–1968) and Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer (1907– 2004)

@futurebird a lot of bugs are named after people. Entomologists are very light hearted with their names.Strigiphilus garylarsoni named after the Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson
