I will take reasonable effort to research and identify most subjects. People don't shoot a picture of Wrigley Field or PNC Park and call the photo "Some Baseball Field". Most wouldn't shoot a picture of the Sears Tower and call it "Some Building". (Although my son, did shoot a picture of the Vatican and called it "Some Church") I don't think that most people who look at these photos care that a dragonfly belongs to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. But, I do think it's natural for people to look at a photo of a flower, instect or bug, or place and want to know what they are looking at.
Having said that, I'm not fanatic about it. Go through my galleries and you will find titles like "Pretty Flower" or "Ugly Bug" []
