A type of horse fly which was found in Australia was named after Beyonce. The reason behind this is that the fly has got a dense path of golden hair on its lower abdomen. Bryan Lessard who is the researcher at the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) decided to name the species after Beyonce because he felt that the distinctive golden hairs on the fly’s lower abdomen made the fly “bootylicious” which is a term that was made famous in one of Beyonce's songs.
