Even the toaster can't save this one.
Summary
A local Swedish-language newspaper in Finland (Österbottens Tidning) is running a reader vote to choose a name for a new species of wasp (stekelart). The name was selected from 42 submitted suggestions. The article also provides background about the newspaper, which was formed in 2008 from the merger of two older local papers (Jakobstads Tidning, founded 1898, and Österbottningen, founded 1883), and covers local news, sports, business, and culture in the Jakobstad and Karleby regions.
