Agaporomorphus Colberti

This is a beetle named after Stephen Colbert. The scientist who discovered the diving beetle named it after Colbert because "Stephen shamelessly asked the science community to name something cooler than a spider to honor him. His top choices were a giant ant or a laser lion. While those would be cool species to discover, our research involves beetles, and they are 'way cooler' than a spider any day."
