Question

How should the biological name of the giant water bug be written in binomial nomenclature?

Answer 1

Lethocerus americanus Leidy is one common species. The species name, which is composed of a genus name and a trivial name, must be either italicized or underlined. The genus name is always capitalized. Leidy is the one who described the species, and it is proper to include the author's name the first time that the species name is mentioned.
