Bugging out: UK museum names blind beetle after Greta Thunberg

London: Britain’s Natural History Museum on Friday named a tiny, blind and wingless beetle after climate activist Greta Thunberg.
The honey-coloured insect, measuring less than one millimetre, was discovered in the Kenyan capital Nairobi in the 1960s.
But it apparently remained nameless until the venerable London museum’s scientific associate Michael Darby stepped in.
“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.
Sweden’s Thunberg, still only 16, has injected a burst of energy into the climate change movement since launching her first school strikes one year ago.
She has also become a global pop culture icon.
