In case anyone is still somehow confused, the POINT of that post wasn’t “Hi, I’ve never heard of the idea of latin terminology in science, please won’t a perfect stranger explain wasps to me :)))” the POINT was “academic language is often so hyper-specific as to make entire texts inaccessible to readers in other areas of study, even related ones, and most academics are so utterly siloed that they rarely include glossaries or make an effort to integrate more explanation of terms into their work. This includes work that is ostensibly meant for a wider, less academic audience, such as online insect ID guides, to the detriment of the field at large. This disinterest in more broadly accessible communication comes at the expense of effective public outreach, contributing to the distance at which even interested laypeople are held at in modern academia. An emphasis on clear communication and integrating the public into scientific communities has been pioneered in recent decades by many excellent citizen science initiatives, but we clearly still have a long way to go.” 

but for SOME REASON I thought at least essential point was implicit, and that making a bit of a self-deprecating joke with a particularly dense bit of species description was more appropriate for this particular forum than a screed on the importance of public outreach. Clearly I overestimated tumblr.
