This becomes a problem with people don't know the difference, biologically. The problem here in case you don't know is that the article is referring to crane flies (Tipulidae) as plover food but the picture is of a spider (Pholcidae). The authors of this article likely googled daddy long legs, took some image they found and stuck it on their publication. This only perpetuates the problem of course of not knowing the difference. Another common mistake people make is between mosquitoes and crane flies. Watch out for those giant mosquitoes!! This article displays a photo of a crane fly (likely Nephrotoma: Tipulidae) but is discussing the blood sucking flies, mosquitoes (Culicidae).
There are two issues here in my opinion. The first is of confusion surrounding common names. It is difficult to communicate when we don't have a common language. I don't have the answer here as to how to solve this problem. The second issue however may solve the first. The larger issue here is that people don't recognize a morphological difference between biological organisms. In both of these cases of mistakes, knowing about the biology being able to accurately identify a mosquito or crane fly would have avoided the mistakes. This does not only apply to non-biologists. I was having a conversation with a biologist that studies birds and made some mention of mosquitoes as flies (which they are). They were amazed to learn that mosquitoes are flies.
Insects are everywhere and even biologists that don't study them tend to overlook insects and their morphology, ecology and biology. Obviously education can help here and offering more insect information at the introductory biology levels is important.
