This fly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaptia_beyonceae is named after Beyonce.

"It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly's abdomen that led me to name this fly in honour of the performer Beyonce as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy - the naming of species," Mr Lessard said.
