Linking to the wrong name

[edit]

Instead of beginning: Melanophila atropurpurea is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae...

this page would be more far more helpful to users if it said: Melanophila atropurpurea is a species of beetle in the family Buprestidae.

Anyone using hovercards immediately sees that the Buprestidae are known as "jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles". I'm not sure why the second choice English name is used, but linking to beetle helps the non-expert far more to understand what the page is generally about, in my view.
