A new species of butterflies in the USA has been named after Ukrainian Irina Zarutska.

In the United States of America, a scientist decided to name a new species of butterflies after Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska, who became a victim of a knife attack. The butterfly has been named 'Irina's Azure'. This information was disclosed by the media resource 'Glavcom' referring to ABC News.

Discovery of the butterfly

According to inkorr.com: Scientist Ronald Gatrell first discovered the butterfly back in 1985, but at that time it did not receive an official name. The insect was spotted in South Carolina.

Research and honoring memory

In 2018, the director of the International Lepidoptera Research Harry Pavulaan conducted detailed research on butterfly samples in South Carolina and found that the discovered species is a unique hybrid. He planned to give the new insect a name before the tragic death of Irina Zarutska, but after her death, he decided to honor her memory through this insect.

Thus, the new species of butterflies has been named in honor of the Ukrainian refugee, highlighting the significance of her memory in the scientific world.

This news has become a symbol of memory for the victims of violence and the importance of supporting Ukrainian refugees. Through scientific research and discoveries, we can not only preserve the memory of people but also honor their efforts in the struggle for a better future.
