    TUCSON, Ariz. — An auction on eBay allows the public to make a different
    kind of purchase as they peruse the used clothing, electronics and war
    relics on the site. Up for sale: naming rights to a new insect.

    A moth that weighs less than an ounce and measures about an inch was
    discovered eight years ago at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico
    by entomologist Eric H. Metzler.
