University of Illinois graduate student Brendan Morris named the treehopper species 'Kaikaka Gaga' after the 'Bad Romance' hitmaker as a tribute to its uniqueness.

Brendan told the University of Illinois News Bureau: ''If there is going to be a Lady Gaga bug, it's going to be a treehopper, because they've got these crazy horns, they have this wacky fashion sense about them.''

Morris added: ''Treehoppers include some of the most spectacularly beautiful and often quite bizarre bugs on the planet. And they live almost everywhere humans do, making them perfect candidates for a ladybug - or butterfly-level of appreciation.''

Lady Gaga has yet to respond to the news, but Morris hopes she'll take it as a compliment.
