Scaptia beyonceae
[edit]- ... that the horsefly Scaptia beyonceae was named after singer and actress Beyoncé Knowles because of its striking golden behind?

The article only has 261 characters of prose, leaving it 1239 characters short of the DYK requirements. This might allow for additional expansion though? - The Bushranger One ping only 01:30, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. The article has been expanded somewhat, but may still be too short. I'm not completely familiar with the DYK rules, but thought this could be an interesting hook. Wikipeterproject (talk) 06:57, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Actually, it was just short; I did some rearranging of words and word-substitution and it's now over and good to go. Made a few additional word changes to avoid any close-paraprhasing concerns. Article time matches, reference checks out, good to go. Nice work! - The Bushranger One ping only 10:24, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
