Name of a famous Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who was recently caught cuddling with a young model named a new species of water beetles.

Dutch scientists at the waterfall in the Malaysian reserve "Malio Basin" discovered a new type of water beetles and named it in honor of the Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio - Grouvellinus leonardodicaprioi.

Thus, endomologists expressed gratitude to the American movie star for efforts to conserve biodiversity on the planet, reports USA Today.

In turn, the actor noted this act and posted a picture of the beetle as an avatar on his Facebook page.

According to scientists, despite the fact that a new species of beetles is found only in Malaysia, it is very important for the conservation of biodiversity on a global scale.

Recall, this is not the first time that scientists call their discovered species of living beings in honor of famous personalities. Last year, scientists named a new species of ancient insects in honor of the character Ziggy Stardust, coined by British singer David Bowie.
