So a :thumbs: is in order Smile

Corradino D'Ascanio, engineer for Piaggio - an Italian transportation company that specialized in airplanes, trains, engines, and luxury cars - designed the Vespa motor scooter in 1949. Owner Enrico Piaggio exclaimed that the shape of the small vehicle looked like a wasp, hence the name Vespa. The Vespa was made popular in the United states in 1953 when Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck rode one in the movie Roman Holiday

When it comes to words and animals, "bovine" refers to cows and "porcine" to pigs - but what about "caprine"?
