re: #159 jaunte

Alex Wild is an entomologist at UT, you could ask him.

And prevent me from doing my own Research?!?!

Are you insane?!?!

Oh, wait, I can call him at [no phone numbers allowed] to talk to him and ask him why he replaced the colloquial Dog Day Cicada designation with Resh.

Resh is the actual Subspecies designation of the Species.

BUT, that seems to make him an asshole who wants to insert a new normative name for an insect that has been named for centuries.
