Austrian entomologist Peter Guemer has discovered a new type of moth, which has been considered a common Carcina Quercana for more than a century.
Scientist Carcina Ingridmariae called her in respect of her husband, Ingrid Mary, who provided the opening of the 42th anniversary of their wedding, Phys.org reports.
