*Insert Little Monsters joke here*
Back in 2013, Lady Gaga officially declared that her"ARTPOP could mean anything." In the years since, this claim has held true: her ARTPOP could mean a country-tinged pop star singing songs about her dead aunt on Joanne or even an Academy Award-winning actress playing an exaggerated version of herself in the box office-smashing A Star Is Born.
The insect in question is a new genus of treehopper bug, which was recently dubbed the"Kaikaia gaga" by Brendan Morris, a graduate entomology student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A female insect, the bug was found by Morris amongst 1,000 other specimens he had been studying from Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He now has plans to travel to Nicaragua to hopefully find more similar specimens that will help him continue his research.
Speaking on the inspiration behind his christening, Morris told the Illinois News Bureau,"If there is going to be a Lady Gaga bug, it's going to be a treehopper, because they've got these crazy horns, they have this wacky fashion sense about them. They're unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Well, I guess it's safe to say that this"family of insects" can now consider themselves Little Monsters. Stream"Stupid Love!" #ILLINOIS grad student Brendan Morris @BiophileB discovered a new genus and species of #treehopper and named it after @ladygaga— U of I News Bureau March 10, 2020
