Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 31, 2016 I remember my dad calling these potato bugs......he would tell of stories as a kid in the Virden, New Mexico, Gila Valley area they would walk through row after row of potatoes and find these buggers on the plants and squish them between their fingers!!! I don't even know what they really are called but they were all over the door at work this morning!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
