New insect species with 'wacky fashion sense' named after singer Lady Gaga

A newly discovered grasshopper species has been named "Kaikaia gaga" after American singer Lady Gaga. The specimen features protuberances that look like "horns, gnarled branches or bright-coloured flags." "If there's going to be a Lady Gaga bug, it's going to be a treehopper, because they've got these crazy horns...wacky fashion sense," said Brendan Morris, a university student who named it.
