If all will forgive a humorous aside, perhaps it is in the eye of the beholder?

Case in point:

https://entomologytoday.org/2014/11/21/may-berenbaum-receives-new-species-of-cockroach-named-after-her/

May Berenbaum is an entomologist at University of Illinois at Urbana.
The character Dr. Bambi Berenbaum in The X-Files is also named after
her - an entomologist and love-interest of Agent Mulder.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Berenbaum)

No knowledge if she has a preference between these two.

What would you do if an insect were named after you?

One striking feature of Sci-Hub is that the quality of information
*about* the enterprise is always dubious.  What we *know* is that
there is a site and it has a lot of articles for downloading.  The
rest is a mix of assertion, rumor, disinformation, and puzzlement.
