If There Are So Many Million Insects and So Few

question 40

Essay

If there are so many million insects and so few scientists to describe them, perhaps we could just assign the insects numbers and descriptions, rather than names. Describe why this would not accomplish the same "job" as giving them a scientific name, and provide two potential items of knowledge that would be missing with just a number and description. Simply, what does naming an organism also accomplish?
