A new type of cicadas named like Lady Gaga

In honor of the singer Lady Gaga, a new type of humpback was named - a group of insects that belong to cicadas.

About this stated on the University of Illinois website.

New insects were discovered by a graduate student at Brendan Morris University.

According to him, humpbacks are the most bizarre insects that most people have never heard.

“They have a bizarre morphological structure, strange bulges that look like horns or clumsy branches or mushrooms. They have either a bright color or are similar to the leaves of dead plants. Humpbacks feed on plant sap. They are an important food source for other forest dwellers,” Brendan said.

The new insect is called Kaikaia gaga.
