Scientific names are necessary, but...
February 27, 2009
If you heard something being called “Ourapteryx clara, Geometridae”, would you ever associate it with this ?
Such a beauty, with an Orrible name….
I will never be a botanist, zoologist, lepidopterist, or any other ist. I would call that the star moth and enjoy its beauty…
Well, I realize others need to have a unique name to id it by, but that’s NOT what I would like to call it!
