This Butterfly Species Is Now Named After Ariel Bibas

JL;DR SUMMARY In a touching tribute to Ariel Bibas, a young boy remembered for his love of butterflies and Batman, a species of orange butterfly commonly seen in Jerusalem has been renamed in his honor.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
