Washington (CNN)Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at age 83, has a new life accomplishment: namesake of a praying mantis species.

Can't make it up.

They thought it was fitting because like the manits, Ginsburg also eats the head off of anyone she sleeps with.

“Researchers at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History on Wednesday said they were deeming a new species as the llomantis ginsburgae, named after Ginsburg because of her “relentless fight for gender equality” and out of “appreciation” of her jabots, the neck accessories that she frequently dons.”

A bug where the female regularly eats the male. Such gender equality.

OK

Praying mantis?I would think that a new species of buzzard would be more appropriate.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

The resemblance is remarkable.

Sorry to hear this actually.

They are a beneficial insect.

Ginsburg is merely an insect.

[null and void]

Does it fall alseep while eating the male's head?

After having watched the video, something makes me think the grad student spokes-babe will make a good dhimmi.

[Arthur McGowan]

She is not the bug’s namesake. She is its eponym.

To #2. Re “Ginsburg also eats the head off of anyone she sleeps with”.

Now that would explain why she always looks like she’s starving.

[KosmicKitty]

I’m sure the bug castrates and was its mate. :-)

[KosmicKitty]

was = eats

Grrrr!!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Was she a “feminist biologist” or just a voyeur?

[Rome2000]

Ginsburg is a degenerate com symp and has wrought much evil.

Too late for her to step down,she will be replaced by the hard right wing.

[Chad N. Freud]

Thank you. (This is not sarcasm.)

One time I looked up Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a photo site, and was amazed at how good-looking she was at one time. It's a shame how feminism uglifies women:

[tumblindice]

She looks as mean as a sidewinder rattlesnake with shingles now.

The article itself is very surprising. Not for the RBG reference but because there is actually a species named Praying Mantis which has not yet been banned and censored.
