me: huh, i wonder what this bug i saw earlier was. it's more the size of a damselfly than a dragonfly but when they landed they didn't fold their wings back
[like 30 seconds of googling later]
me: oh, it's a spreadwing damselfly. makes sense
A couple months back I saw a giant bug swimming in some water and I looked it up and it was called a giant water bug.
Sometimes things are just named what they are.
