Did you know there was a fly named after Bill Gates, founder and head of the Microsoft Corporation? Like geographic features, species are sometimes named after prominent people. This fly (Eristalis gatesi) was named after Bill Gates in recognition of his great contributions to the science of Dipterology.Bill's fly is only found in the high montane cloud forests of Costa Rica.

Seperti ciri geografi, spesis kadangkala dinamakan selepas orang terkenal. Lalat ini (Eristalis gatesi) dinamakan sempena Bill Gates sebagai pengiktirafan sumbangan besarnya kepada ilmu Dipterology.
