The honey-coloured insect, measuring less than one millimetre, was discovered in the Kenyan capital Nairobi in the 1960s.
"I am immensely impressed with the work of this young campaigner and wanted to acknowledge her outstanding contribution in raising awareness of environmental issues," Darby said. "It is likely that undiscovered species are being lost all the time, before scientists have even named them, because of biodiversity loss," said Barclay.
Sounds about accurate
because she is a pest
Thays rude. They did it because they think she is blind. GretaThunberg should call them out on it.
Blind bug ohhh the irony
Bullying a 16yr old 🙄 feel better now? 🖕🏽
Do these beetles preech on subjects they have actual education and training in or do they preech opinions and ideologies?
You've got so many characters to express this story, but have worded it in such a way that it's completely ambiguous as to whether the naming was an honor or slight. Do better.
Quite “fitting”, especially the blind part! LOL
This is really funny you name a street after her, but buggy bug 🐜 really is funny
I would have thought they would have named after geological names rather than bugs... I was thinking “pyrite”! She needs to go home and be in school....
The Toonbug
Trying again, eh CTV?
I can totally see the resemblance....😃
Wtf
YOU WILL EAT BUGS.
A 'blind' beetle named after Greta Thunberg. How appropriate!
Why is a bug named after her, she is really bugging Canada
the blind beetle is great because....she is myopic and only sees what she wants... and hammers on the same point over and over..
Fitting.
Hahaha they don’t see the irony in calling a blind bug after her
Poor bug, can't say no 😥
Blind and tiny, seems appropriate. Wonder if its irksome as well?
Toonbug
Will she please just go away
What an awful insult to the poor bug.
Seems like the perfect match
Blind, annoying and probably disruptive. Good choice to represent her! 👏
Let her forge ahead blind.
The Museum is offened by a little girl lol!
Does it only speak when older beetles tell it what to say?
I'd prefer to see a cockroach instead
This headline is trash just like this news outlet 🗑️
Who’s writing your headlines? Perhaps include some quotes from the museum (that you’ve included in your article) instead of framing it like a slap in the face to Greta? She’s got enough bullies on her back without you folks adding fuel to the fire.
Makes perfect sense!
Lol perfect name for the little guy!
………..How fitting!
I’m waiting for Sesame Street to make and name one of their new puppets after her.
Fitting that it's a blind beetle. Well done museum 👍
Thun”bug”
yea.. okay... I think she sees more than most adults do... shes definitely NOT blind. I think they should rethink this one....
How dare you!!!
Well she is leading the blind ClimateCult, so seems about right.
You named a blind cockroach after me.
Well perfect description for climate change nuts
“ Blind “ beetle ? Hahahaha I see what you did there !
Well she is blind to the truth.
A blind little meaningless bug. That sounds about right. Great job, museum.
Apropos
Incredibly Insulting!
Lol the irony, she's definitely blind, is it a type of dung beetle by chance?
How dare you!
That's about right she is a blind bug .Antifa girl .
She's one of a kind. Brave, and sticks to science
Good grief
LOL ...
Wow I always thought being called an insect was an insult not a compliment. You know like 'Don't bug me'.
Wtf I love Museums now!
Does it create a fake scary thing like a peacock? Because that will be perfect.
A little bug.... very suitable
Right on, she deserves it!
Blind Excellent
Is it a parasite too?
