Common nmes are often vague, e.g. what species is ‘wrack’ or ‘marigold’
Bush tit
I’d’a called 'em chazwazzas
“What kind of bug is this?”
“The kind with 6 legs.”
This is especially true when you are talking with people in various languages and they all want you to know the common name of an organism.
More confusing is that I know some organisms only by their common name, some by both names and most only by scientific names.
iNaturalist gives always gives me the scientific names first but varies in common names between the different local variants. It is confusing if some are in English, others in German or Spanish etc.
