It works with any taxa, it’s much easier to learn a moth name if it’s a normal human phrase and not something like bulgruachxis shiffiamitea. We don’t live in a world where a locality has thousands of ant species at the time, language won’t need names for all species, only those that live where those people live.
Not to mention scientists who use latin actually create common names out of them, I hardly ever hear anyone pronouncing the whole names, and if name isn’t great for that personally I have my own names for them, Gastrodes grossipes is a pine brown bug and Gastrodes abietum is a spruce bug for me, I’m not gonna refer to them with their latin names even though I remember them from adding many observations.
