The term "Libellula saturata" is Latin, as Latin is used for the naming of things in the realm of the "genetic"...shall we say, as in botany, and in this case entomology...'



As I can't find an online Latin translation, I think it would be safe to say it make reference to where and who first discovered this particular dragonfly.
Well, that is a dragon fly last I remember. That being the scientific name, it is in Latin. Latin is used, because it is a dead language, meaning no one uses it as an everyday language. This is important because all languages that are active are constantly changing. IE: 50 years ago bad meant bad, no due to pop culture it also means awesome.



After posting, I noticed some else did and I checked the link that I had earlier, and the dictionary was horrible, it could not look up basic words like girl.



Side note, the reason there probably no online dictionaries, is because latin does not have any order to sentence structure, and relies upon endings for it's Subject, verb, indirect, direct and so on.



Also I looked up those two words in my old Latin Dictionary and they Libellula comes from libell, which means "little book" and saturata means "satire", so I guess Little Book of Satire. May be wrong, it has been forever since I translated Latin to English.What language is Libellula saturata and where do I find a free online translator for that hanguage.. thanks :)
I don't have my Latin dictionary handy, but the

other two answers seem to be correct, except that

saturata probably means saturated rather than

satire. Saturated in this sense probably refers to

a saturated color.



It is not correct that scientific names are always in

Latin, they may be in any language. A great many

of them, especially the generic names (e.g.Libellula), are Greek rather than Latin. Examples of Greek generic names, which are also

the English names are rhinoceros, hippopotamus,

rhododendron and chrysanthemum.What language is Libellula saturata and where do I find a free online translator for that hanguage.. thanks :)
Perhaps a little help in the right direction: Uhler described this red skimmer, dragonfly, etc in 1857. The etymology (origin of names) for "libellula", diminutive of Classical Latin libella ('a small silver coin', 'a water-level', 'a plummetline'), is itself a diminutive of Latin libra ('a pair of scales', 'a balance').

"Saturata" refers to something full, saturated or possibly a swarm of animals. Why Uhler picked this name? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe he saw a swarm of them balancing over water when he found it? ;)
