Have You Ever Wondered Why?

 Names are given to rivers, lakes, mountains and bugs! Take the humble hellbender, what did it do to get such a name, and the humble and graceful mayfly. The answer seems simple, but other than mountains, rivers and lakes plants and bugs are often mistakenly called by their common names. The real names are a set of binomial based on latin or latinized words. The binomial usually refer to a trait, color, or pattern often associated with them. Mountains, lakes and river often are named after the last person who thinks they were the first to lay eyes on it. Often the aboriginal names are tossed to the wayside. So this being the Month of May, enjoy the mayflies or whatever they're called. Cinco de mayo, you'll.
