Project Noah Fact of the Day: Lanternfies were so named because early scientists, including the founder of modern taxonomy Carl Linneus, erroneously believed that their inflated snouts, the so-called lanterns, lit up at night.

Lanternflies (Pyrops candelaria) spotted in Laos by PN user FlorianMeier.
