Dear Burt Vance, I am sorry, but you are wrong on numerous fronts – 1) I am not assuming anything, 2) Most zoologists do not assume that all the people on the planet can speak Latin, I suspect in fact that none do. 3) I personally am well aware most people don’t speak Latin, I am one of them, 4) Not all scientific names are derived from Latin, some come from ancient Greek (which I don’t speak either), 5) Many species of insects do not have common names (because they are small and there are over one million species) – but where they do have common names these are often regional (should I include dozens of common names with every species, or should I assume everyone is American, or English as I am English – an obviously erroneous assumption), further more common names often refer to more than one species, scientific binomial names are international and unique for each species no matter how many countries it lives in, 6) In some cases where a common name is well accepted and well used I do use them i.e. Malayan Jungle Nymph, Common (Indian or Laboratory) Stick Insect, American Walking Stick, Giant Prickly Stick Insect, Small Spiney Stick Insect and Pink Wings

Thanks for the heads-up. I have fixed it.
