Game of Beetles

You might be able to guess, that entomologist Brett Radcliffe is a fan of the TV series, Game of Thrones. He discovered 3 new beetles, and their orange markings reminded him of fire, so he named them after dragons on the show. Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion are now immortalized as Gymnetis drogoni, rhaegali, and viserioni.
