Dear Mike,
We doubt that many Southlanders, either natives or recent arrivals, will ever forget their first encounter with a Potato Bug, an iconic insect found in Southern California. Potato Bugs are subterranean dwellers that are often sighted shortly after the first good rain to hit the region as they come to the surface.
