“Maybe you are referring to ginseng or something else, but I think it’s an interesting match for this situation.”
You’re one of the few that know the Latin name for ginseng. Now work on figuring out the ‘anax’ part and you’ll be the winner!
I think dragonflies (or one genus of them) are Anax. But I think it could be Anaximander (which I just now realize would also be appropriate, given his earthquake prediction!)
