SC - Re:manual de mujeres

[Huette von Ahrens]

This is all very interesting.  Region variations, etc.
What I used to call a potato bug when I was a child,
turns out to really be a Jerusalem cricket.  But the
wood louse [according to Webster's dictionary] can
also be called "pill bug" and "sowbug".  There seems
to be no notation about any other variations.
