[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 235191, member: 8733"] I grew up in Central Washington in spud country, and THIS is what I grew up calling a potato bug: [url=http://www.answers.com/colorado%20potato%20beetle]Colorado potato beetle: Definition from Answers.com[/url]. BUT...I talked to one of my old farmer buddies, and he says that the jerusalam cricket was also called a potato bug when HE was growing up, and one of my Hispanic friends says that Mexicans call them "children of the earth" or sometimes "skull children". So they go by different names!! Technically, they are [I]Stenopelmatus.[/I] Bill [/QUOTE]
