ESA updates insect names to remove outdated terms.
The Entomological Society of America has launched a project to update insect common names to be more respectful and accurate.
Following new guidelines that ban names referencing ethnic groups or causing harm, the society is reviewing names like "gypsy moth," which is being replaced with "spongy moth."
The ESA is engaging researchers and the public for feedback as they work to remove outdated terms and foster a more inclusive scientific community.
