Scientist Discovers New Insect, Names it After a Legend

Sicoderus Bautistai

The new species of beetle, discovered by Canadian entomologist Bob Anderson, the Sicoderus Bautistai is a tiny black weevil found in the Dominican Republican, which just so happens to be the birthplace of the former Toronto Blue Jays slugger it was named after.

About the insect, Anderson said, "There isn't much known about the insects because they're relatively rare, Anderson said, but they likely feed on tropical trees or vines"
