LONG after peace has settled over Iraq and the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections have faded to footnotes in history, President Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld will be remembered in the insect world.

The Americans? entomological fans have shown their respect

for the Commander-in-Chief, his Vice-President and the Secretary of Defence by naming three newly discovered species of slime-mold beetles after them.

Quentin Wheeler, the chief insect specialist at the Natural History Museum in London, said that he and Kelly Miller, a former colleague at Cornell University in the United States, wanted to reward their compatriots for sticking to their guns ?rather than accepting the expedient or popular?.

So when they were given the job of naming 65 new species, three acquired the formal titles of Agathidium bushi, Agathidium cheneyi and Agathidium rumsfeldi.

The bushi beetle frequents the trees and logs of southern Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia, and his cheneyi cousin prefers Chiapas in Mexico.

The rumsfeldi beetle scurries around in Oaxaca and Hidalgo, in Mexico, occasionally taking to the air at night.
