What's up with "A mayfly"?

[jschoen]

It appears that on May 19, some dude named loarie changed the English names of many Ephemeroptera species to "A mayfly".  Anyone know this guy? What's going on here - trying to see if we are paying attention? 

I welcome a discussion of what are the best common (English) names to use for these and other aquatic insect species. I don't think this name, which now covers about 30(?) different species, is the best term to use.  

Cheers,

Jerry Schoen

Hi Jerry,

We loaded a bunch of names from NatureServe Canada as part of a collaboration on the upcoming Canada version of iNaturalist. Unfortunately this inadvertently created alot of non specific names like 'A mayfly' I had to delete- I thought that I had deleted all of those. Can you send me an example of the one you're referring to and I'll get rid of them.

Thanks,

Scot
