“The single-cell protists, Cthulhu macrofasciculumque and Cthylla microfasciculumque, help termites digest wood. The researchers decided to name them after monstrous cosmic entities featured in Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos as an ode to the sometimes strange and fascinating world of the microbe.”
“Cthulhu and Cthylla are very small – they are in the range of 10 to 20 microns”
All hail! The mighty “Flying spaghetti Monster!”
Aren’t they cute? Again, so many surprises teaming on this hellish planet! So much yet to find/discover, so little, an infinite time…
