It's a birthday gift unlike any other. Entomologists Quentin Wheeler of Arizona State University and Kelly Miller of the University of New Mexico named a diving beetle from Venezuela -- Agaporomorphus colberti -- as a birthday gift for Stephen Colbert, the satirical host and executive producer of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
