Millipede species named after Taylor Swift

cientists have described a previously unknown species of millipede in the Appalachian mountains – and named it after pop superstar Taylor Swift. Researchers discovered the millipede, along with 16 other newly described millipede species, as part of an extensive research genus, known as twisted-claw millipedes, sonamed for the twisted and flattened claws on their front legs. Experts analysed 1,835 millipede specimens, most of which they collected under leaf litter, trees and rocks, in forest habitats across 17 US states.
