To be a bit more serious, I've been fly fishing since the 1960's, and I don't know the name of a single bug.
Well, ok, I know a few: mosquito, black fly, horse fly......
I DO know how to look in the water for the bug the fish are after, and match it. That's all you need to know, in my opinion.
Lots of Orvis groupies spew Latin names, but I don't think that helps you catch many fish, but, that's just my .02$.
