Wait a second everyone, before you go "What the heck?" read this.

An unusual new species of whirligig beetle from India is being named Orectochilus orbisonorum in honor of the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Roy Orbison and his widow Barbara.

(I love wordplay.)

Hey, I liked the title pun!

Also, Roy Orbison's version of "Pretty Woman" just screams "sex-predator." That's really all I've heard of him.
