Each scientific name allows scientists to better study the behavior of an organism. Each scientific name applies to only one species, making it universally identifiable to scientists The scientific name allows scientists to develop common names for organisms. The scientific name describes how an individual looks relative to others of the same genus. Use the Dichotomous Key to identify the 6 insects below.
