Sam Sparro - Singer

Sparro's singing talent was discovered at a young age. He is a singer who's recent album and single Black and Gold has been a huge hit (and what a great album it is). He is openly gay and wrote Black and Gold while in Los Angeles in 2002 whilst working in a coffee shop. In interviews he has said that Black an Gold is a song about God or spirituality perhaps due to his gospel background.

Animals and Plants Named for Michigan

A search of the Integrated Taxonomic Information System revealed 33 taxa of living organisms in which "michigan" is part of the scientific name, in most cases forming the root of the species name. The organisms so named include 24 species of animals representing 6 classes, 11 orders, and 22 families; and 9 taxa (6 species, 1 subspecies, and 2 varieties) of plants representing 6 classes, 8 orders, and 8 families.

All of the animals are invertebrates, including 17 insects, 2 water mites, a fluke, a leech, a proturan, a rotifer, and an earthworm. The insects consist of 9 flies (Diptera), 4 bees or wasps (Hymenoptera), a beetle (Staphylinidae), and a caddisfly (Tricoptera).

The plants include 3 flowering plants, 3 diatoms, 2 green algaes, and a moss. I’m a little surprised that some individual or organization has not campaigned to have the native and showy Michigan Lily named the Michigan State Flower in place of the generic Apple Blossom.

The list of animals and plants named in honor of Michigan follows:

  • Calycomyza michiganensis, a leafminer fly
