This is the text (if you need help).
A scientist found a new bee species in Australia. It has horns on its head. It was named Megachile lucifer. "Lucifer" is a name for the Devil. The scientist said: "These horns are very...devilish. I wanted to call it a devil-like name." Lucifer means "light bringer". The scientist wants to bring light to conservation issues.
Australia has 2,000 species of bees. The scientist said there are many bee species we do not know about. The Lucifer bee is the first of its kind to be found in 20 years. The scientists is worried that the new bee could be in danger. This is because of habitat loss. Climate change is also a danger.
Back to the Lucifer bee lesson.
