Unidentifiedpotato bugs
Dear Bugman,
Thanks for posting my “unidentified Mexican beauty” on your site. I hope we can get an answer. You might also be interested to know that the potato bug, frequently mentioned on your site, is also called “Cara de Niño” (child’s face) here in Mexico, a name that, to me, makes them doubly frightening. Down here, they have a reputation for being poisonous and I’m always having to convince people otherwise.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Collins Morrison
México, D.F.
Hi again Elizabeth,
Thank you for the information. It seems we have heard this before but it is nice to have it in writing.
