| Discovery Notes | Found in an unsuspecting planter that had some bushes in it, underneath a layer of mulch. The soil collected from was fairly dry, about 5.5 cm deep. |
| Naming Notes | I decided to name my phage something flippant as when I had to name it, I looked at the list and found mostly sober, serious names. Seeing this, I decided I'd rather have something silly with the image in my head that one day someone would have to sequence it, see the name, and shake their head in mild amusement. |
