What creature would you like named in your honor? Celebrity species...

There’s an unwritten rule in the scientific community: If you discover it, you get to name it.

With 15 to 25 thousand new species discovered each year, naming them can prove challenging. These days, pop culture is gaining popularity in scientific naming. Just recently, paeolentoligists discovered a giant lizard that had been extinct for 40 million years and named it Barbaturex morrisoni, after Lizard King Jim Morrison. Here are some other endangered celebrity species:

* Scaptia beyonceae: A rare horse fly named after Beyonce for it’s prominent gold rear end.

* Agra schwarzeneggeri: Named for Arnold, it’s a beetle with legs that look like huge biceps.

* Aptostichus stephencolberti: A trap door spider named for Stephen Colbert.

* Aptostichus angelinjolieae: Another spider, but much cuter.

* Cleese’s Wooly Lemur: Named after John Cleese, of Monty Python fame.

* Preseucoila imallshookupis: No joke, it’s a wasp named for Elvis.

* Hyla stingi: A Colombian tree frog named for Sting.

So which celebrity does science love most? We have a clear winner and it’s Frank Zappa. He has an orb-web spider, a jellyfish, a mudfish and a long-extinct shellfish to help keep both their legacies alive.
