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.

How much will her handlers make off of this deal? Saint Greta is for sale to anyone willing to “support” her cause.

Appropriate. Beetles are useless and just annoying, just like Greta.

"The tiny beetle, which measures less than 1mm long and has no eyes or wings.." The perfect bug for Scoldilocks and her fellow cultists. “There are none so blind...”

Hilarious.
This cuts both ways, and I’m sure her defenders don’t realize that.
