Etymology

The species is named in honour of Yuliya Aleksandrovna Lovtsova, a Russian lepidopterologist who collected the species.[1]

gollark: Probably not in real time, though.
gollark: Possibly. It could be programmed to block somewhat late/with a time delay. Or I'm just overestimating the scale and they actually do have people manually reading stuff.
gollark: Maybe it just automatically does that.
gollark: > there is still someone able to see the messageWhy would they bother reading the responses?
gollark: Also, again, these are bots, *nobody* sane would *manually* try and scam tons of people.
