Aha ha is a species of Australian wasp, named by the entomologist Arnold Menke in 1977 as a joke. Menke described how, when he received a package from a colleague containing insect specimens, he exclaimed "Aha!".The name of the insect is commonly found in lists of bizarre scientific names. [1] The name was also used as the vehicle registration plate of Menke's car, "AHA ha".[2]
