Etymology
The specific name of the new species is derived from the Greek, di (meaning two) and stigma (meaning spot), referring to two spots on the thorax.
gollark: I mean, right now, we are dealing with nuclear waste pretty much fine.
gollark: I mean, yes, this is all not exactly *trivial* and somewhat costly, but it's not the giant issue antinuclear people imply it is.
gollark: I don't *think* those are too common, but just put them in a robust container when you're sending them up.
gollark: Oh yes, add warning signs too, obviously.
gollark: So leave it and ignore it in a specific place. Maybe the Moon or something, if space travel gets cheaper.
