the taxonomy section of the wikipedia article about things named after tolkien and his works is insane.
loving the crazy ass scientists who named an absurd amount of grass-miner moths after tolkien characters. thereās a STUPID amount of elves btw.
also,
thereās more. would you still love them if they were wormsā¦.
thereās way more including Shrimp Baggins Family, a bunch of attempts (some successful some not) to name wasps after elves, dwarves and hobbits and like one amoeba named after gimli but honestly just go look at it yourselves itās SO funny
