Removal of "Glearwing" as a vernacular name
I have removed "Glearwing" as a listed vernacular name, and I'll explain my rationale here.

Checking the sources cited on that, I do see that name being used in this source within the article. However, I cannot find anything else that uses this name for the species other than sites that have forked content from Wikipedia. As a note, the Ukrainian name for the species is stated to be "Стеклянница" within that source, which is actually the Russian name for moths of the clearwing family in general (It would actually be "Склівка" in Ukrainian).

I believe it's reasonable to conclude from this mistake that: -The site does not necessarily put species-specific names for the species, and may instead just use the name of the family. -The site is not very reliable for getting the names of the species and may have mistakes.

Source typoing "Clearwing" to refer to the family of the species seems to be very plausible. This would explain why there's nothing else that uses this vernacular name other than Wikipedia forks and also explain why the name is even there in the source. Randi Moth (talk) 18:01, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
