Hyalinobatrachium dianae

Which is bunk. There's, like, a spider species named sonicus hedgehogidae or some shit like that, for the lulz, but heaven forbid we name this guy after his lookalike.

Yeah yeah, rules and conventions, blah blah blah. Some rules need to be broken.

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to newly discovered species the person that discovers it gets to name it which is why we have stuff like sonicus and the Beyonce fly and the Obama spider and stuff like that.

At the very least we have Bulbasaurus phylloxyron

So is that thing going to start suing palaeontologists that discover similar species?
