What has a scaly-looking head of gold???? ??????? ????? ????? ??????? ??????? Well, Donald Trump, of course... but also this moth.
The Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, a new species of tiny moth, has been named after the president-elect due to the striking physical resemblance between the moth's yellow and white scales and Trump's hair.
*giggles*

Oh, and also the study showed that the Neopalpa donaldtrumpi has, um, "comparatively smaller" male genitalia than its relative, the Neopalpa neonata.
*more giggles*
In addition to the Trump moth, a Trump caterpillar was discovered last year.
Back in September 2016, the flannel moth caterpillar (aka the Trumpapillar,) found in the Peruvian Amazon, was also named after Trump for its striking resemblance to his Velveeta strands.
How lucky are we to have a president-elect that looks like so many of nature's creatures?
