A new species of wasp has been named after Sir David Attenborough to celebrate his 100th birthday. The insect, scientifically named Attenboroughnculus tau, was discovered in the Patagonian lakes of Chile.
The species was described by researchers who wanted to honor Attenborough's lifelong contribution to natural history and conservation. The wasp is small and unassuming, but its naming highlights the importance of biodiversity in remote regions.
This discovery adds to a growing list of species named after the broadcaster, reflecting his impact on science and public understanding of nature.
