According to a paper he published on the topic, the beetles’ actual, official, real, scientific names are Binburrum articuno,\u00a0Binburrum zapdos, and Binburrum moltres. He specifically named them after the Legendary Pokemon Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. These beetles can’t be found in Kanto though<\/a>; Binburrum articuno is found in southeastern South Australia, Binburrum zapdos is found in northeastern Queensland, and Binburrum moltres is found in northeastern Queensland; all in Australia.<\/p>\n
