question: Help me draft a short paper on the influence of pop culture on the scientific naming of newly discovered species: 
  1. Ensure the paper contains exactly 150 words.
  2. Include at least three references to pop culture in your response.
answer: Title: The Influence of Pop Culture on Scientific Nomenclature
  
  The intersection of pop culture and science is increasingly evident in the naming of newly discovered species. Scientists often draw inspiration from cultural phenomena to make taxonomy more relatable. For instance, the spider species *Eriovixia gryffindori* was named after the Sorting Hat from the "Harry Potter" series, reflecting the arachnid's hat-like appearance and the enduring impact of J.K. Rowling's work. Similarly, the wasp *Aleiodes shakirae* pays homage to singer Shakira, inspired by the way the larvae make the host caterpillar "dance" as the wasp develops. This naming not only celebrates Shakira's musical influence but also adds a memorable twist to entomology. Another example is the beetle *Agra schwarzeneggeri*, named after Arnold Schwarzenegger due to its notably brawny appearance, akin to the actor's muscular physique. These examples illustrate how pop culture serves as a bridge between scientific communities and the public, fostering engagement and promoting biodiversity awareness.
