University of Western Australia researchers have discovered a new species of subterranean ant and named it 'Leptanilla voldemort'. "The fearsome antagonist in Harry Potter and the ant both have a ghostly and slender appearance and live in the shadows," lead researcher Mark Wong stated. They described it as pale ant with a slender build, spindly legs, and long, sharp mandibles.
