to the Pseudacris regilla: Pseudes, meaning false or deceptive; acris, from the Greek akris, meaning a locust; and regilla is from the Latin regillus, meaning regal or splendid.

A false regal locust?

Yes ma’am, it’s the Pacific Tree Frog or Pacific Chorus Frog.

And next week the legislature is designating pseudacris regilla as the state amphibian!

Now you've done it, Gitai. The potato industry has this whole slog bugged. They're going to bring in the "cleaners" and wipe us all out. It was just fine until you had to go and mention the Elephant in the room. May God have mercy on our souls.
