A Rockin' Beetle

- And no, it’s not Paul McCartney, but close. During a recent Roy Orbison Tribute Concert, the discovery of a new species of beetles was announced, and named Orectochilus orbisonorum, in honor of the late Roy Orbison and his widow, Barbara. The beetle, called the whirligig, is only about 5 millimeters long and its colorings give it an appearance of wearing a tuxedo. Reminisce and listen to this late, great, influential rock and roll legend with music from our collection, including The Essential Roy Orbison. Read Roy Orbison's biography in our database!
