A tiny moth with a very recognisable “hairstyle” has become the first creature named after the soon-to-be 45th president of the United States.<\/p>\n
The Neopalpa donaldtrumpi was discovered in California by researcher Vazrick Nazari, of Ottawa, Canada.<\/p>\n
The name was inspired by the striking golden flakes covering its head, which he likened to Donald Trump’s famous mop.<\/p>\n
Nine species were named after President Barack Obama during his term in office.<\/p>\n
What Mr Trump will make of the honour remains to be seen – especially as the tiny moth, with its wingspan of just more than a centimetre, is native to southern California and the Mexican region of Baja California.<\/p>\n
