Names - _TNY_3833
Since English is spoken in so many different countries, there is no coordination of the vernacular English names for bugs - or other animals for that matter.
This means that just like what (most) North Americans call an "moose" (Alces alces) is known as an "elk" in the UK (and "elk" being the name for a different animal (Cervus canadensis) in NA).
The spider Araneus diadematus has a whole slew of names, it's European garden spider, cross spider, diadem spider, crowned orb weaver and surely a bunch more. This is what makes the scientific names so bloody useful - suddenly there is a common name which can be used regardless what language or location you're using or in.
On that notion, this is Thymelicus lineola, a skipper butterfly which is known as the Essex skipper in (English-speaking) Europe, but since it has managed to move to North America, there it is instead known as the European skipper.
Swedish names often focus on host plants so up here, this is a "mindre tåtelsmygare" which becomes the downright amazing "lesser tussock grass sneaker" when translated.
