Belgian scientists have named a new “very large and robust” Vietnamese sub-species of praying mantis after British television naturalist David Attenborough.<\/p>\n

According to the Royal Belgian Society of Entomology, a recent expedition to the Annamite mountains in central Vietnam uncovered a mantis now known as Titanodula attenboroughi.<\/p>\n

The Belgian Journal of Entmology<\/i> describes 94-year-old Attenborough as “one of the world’s most beloved naturalists”.
\nIt describes the new-found insect as a “very large and robust praying mantis. Head triangular, antennae filiform. Long but robust pronotum, with smooth dorsal surface.”
\nMantises were once assigned to the catch-all Herodula genus\u2014dubbed a “wastebasket taxon” by the journal\u2014but species of this group display a great variety of male genitalia, suggesting they are separate.
\nThe research has allowed scientists to assign Attenborough’s eponymous mantis to a new group, Titanodula.
\nAttenborough was director of programming for British public broadcaster the BBC in the 1970s, but is best known for presenting an ambitious series<\/a> of wildlife documentaries, beginning with Life on Earth in 1979.
\nHe is a much-loved public figure and has received other honours, including a knighthood.
\nIn 2016 the British polar research vessel was named the RRS Sir David Attenborough despite a poll of Internet users suggesting it be dubbed “Boaty McBoatface”.<\/p>\n
