Translate colloquial biological descriptions into scientific names or technical terminology for effective species/organism search
When a question describes biological features colloquially — e.g., "sharp stones for harvest", "burrowing underground to pupate", "a beloved insect delicacy" — instead of using scientific or common names.
Biology questions almost never use the actual species name. They describe organisms through behaviors, appearances, and cultural uses. Your first job is to translate these descriptions into candidate species names (common or scientific).
Think about what organism matches ALL the described features. Generate 2-3 candidate species, then verify each against the full set of clues. Once you have a candidate name, use it directly in subsequent searches.
