Re: Scientific names

The only way I found that worked for me was to think of the species first by its scientific name. ie if you see a Common Toad think Bufo bufo, not Common Toad, see a Painted Lady think Cynthia cardui not Painted Lady .... I am sure that others have better methods but this works for me

Pararge aegeria (you may call me "Aeggy" for short)
