There's a new ant species, and it's named after Radiohead

If success is measured by whether or not you have an obscure animal species named after you, the British rock band Radiohead has officially made it. Following the likes of Bono, who has a spider named after him, and Lady Gaga, who has a family of ferns named after her, Radiohead has inspired the name of a newly discovered species of "fungus-farming ant," Mashable reported. The ant, found in Venezuela's portion of the Amazon rainforest, has been christened Sericomyrmex radioheadi.
