People Taxonomy: relationships between Paradigms

What an interesting topic! Popular names depend on the locality.

Krasnoklop-soldier, and can still decipher the nymph-private, imago-sergeant (officer, etc.). The same category includes any similar bug. In the autumn, there are mass gatherings of Ligeus the spotted (my father said that in his childhood there were no such things), I have already heard names like officer or musketeer, because of the characteristic "cross"(although the cloak is not Musketeer. and red). And in Germany it is called ritterwanze, i.e. the knight bug. But I didn't meet any firemen, so I asked my dad, and he said that's what they used to call large grasshoppers with bright red legs.

And all mega-wasps (the term was introduced by John-ST) are called hornets and they also pierce the soles with a sting, although only thin ones. Therefore, in sandals it should not be crushed, but in shoes it is possible.

Any large grasshopper is a locust, I wonder if this is an all-Russian term or if there are exceptions.

White butterflies are all cabbage plants, and" chocolate " apparently do not live in our area.

Weevils are elephant beetles.

There was also a dispute with classmates, they claimed that the age of a ladybug is easy to determine if you count its points. how many dots - that's how old it is. And no arguments help. In the summer, I raised cows from larvae, photographed the exit from the pupa and how the spots appear, convinced someone, someone did not. I conducted a small study on the conditional topic " Who do you think ladybirds are?", compiled a questionnaire in the form of a presentation, teachers helped to conduct a survey, anonymous. There was a question with pictures, taken from the Jacobson atlas. The result is:
beetles that are clearly not cows -- and turned out not to be cows
typical cows (such as seven-point) -- cows
are not typical cows, the color is not red -- not cows.
not ladybugs, but a similar color scheme-ladybugs.
That is, in the view of most people, the diagnosis is as follows: ladybugs are small beetles of red, orange or yellow color with black dots.

Very interesting topic, I would like to update it.

On butterflies:
Papilio machaon-mahogany
All white cabbage plants (when I spoke about rutabagas and turnips, they gave an argument: they say, we do not have rutabagas, no turnips do not grow in the district)
All red-painted butterflies are fireflies
All large moths are hawks

It's the same story with Straight-wings: grasshopper fillies, grasshoppers.
And recently they proved to me that we have fillies the size of a palm - they confused them with locusts.
Even when I caught a leapfrog (Roeseliana roeselii), I was told that it was either a cricket or a bear larva.

Weevils (Tipulidae) are malarial mosquitoes.

Sometimes wasps are bees, and bees are wasps.

Ktyri are also wasps.

Staphylinids-earwigs

Once again I heard: the rider's ovipositor was divided into 2 threads. it dawned on one person standing nearby: this is a flying twoflower confuse "wasp" with a twoflower

By butterflies:
All large hawk moth species

This is still nothing, because in many cases it is true. We have it worse: all the big night gullies are big moths

Not exactly popular, but close. Today, from the mouth of a student-type-entomologist, I heard about the existence of the black-calf family
