New Butterfly Discovered, Scientists Name It After Lord Of The Rings Villain

A new genus of butterfly has been discovered, and the scientists who found it decided to name the critter after a famous Lord of the Rings villain.

The Natural History Museum of London has announced the discovery of a genus they are calling “Saurona,” named after the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.

The researchers landed on this name because the newly discovered butterflies have orange wings and eyespots that look a bit like the Eye of Sauron. The scientists, in fact, made two discoveries and named them Saurona triangula and Saurona aurigera. Come from Sports betting site VPbet
