Some maintenance on the insect tree:
Mayflies, lacewings, dobsonflies, and webspinners are order-level groups of insects that are currently unimplied.
At first I was just gonna reverse the stick_insect -> phasmid alias as part of our effort for clearer language, but there are a distinct group of phasmids that are known as leaf insects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylliidae ), so I think keeping phasmid as an umbrella works better (I'll add stick_insect manually to the posts that need it after this goes through).
True bugs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera) are a vast order of insects that I think deserve an umbrella on here, as we have several groups of them represented.
Finally, scorpionfly got aliased the wrong way around, the spelling without the space is much more common.
