Etymology
The name of the species refers to the striking resemblance between the ventral hindwing of this species and that of Enos myrtea.
gollark: I would be worried if someone with ebola was just wandering around randomly.
gollark: I mean, none of those are pandemics right now, so the political will to do anything about it doesn't exist.
gollark: And after just 20ish months and hundreds of millions of doses administered!
gollark: It seems like it's already quite bad, and this would presumably be good for the booster shots some places are talking about.
gollark: With the mRNA/viral vector vaccines, it would be pretty easy to swap out the spike protein for delta-variant ones and probably get better immunity to it, right? Is anyone doing this? It seems like a very obvious idea.
