November/December 2022 Empties! Continuing my quest to use up my huge hoard of beauty supplies and hotel toiletries! Bath & Body Works Wicked Vanilla Woods Ultimate Hydration Cream (smells amazing and really did last all day), good old Kirkland Signature makeup remover wipes, Ecossentials Naturals Lemongrass body lotion (smelled nice, worked fine), St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub (I don't care what people say, I love this), Omni Hotels Aloe & Honey conditioner (generic but fine), and Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream with Sunscreen (I didn't notice any "sculpting", but as a daily sunscreen it worked great). #NovemberEmpties #DecemberEmpties #november2022 #december2022 #empties #DrugstoreBeauty #HotelToiletries #StashBusting #samplesize #travelsize #MakeupHoard #CheapAssChic #bathandbodyworks #wickedvanillawoods #ecossentials #kirkland #saintives #olay #regenerist #sunscreen #apricotscrub #aloeandhoney #conditioner #lotion #makeupremover https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwrL6srAiy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love answering surveys. I love influencing statistics. Statistics are what matter when making big decisions, not individuals.

Back before I left reddit, one of my favorite subreddits was r/samplesize. People would post surveys of all sorts there. 8 page surveys about all varieties of things, posited by small start ups trying to figure out if there's a market for their products, college students collecting data for their master's thesis, or just random people who are curious about trends in various populations.

The polls here on Tumblr suck. There's no way to combat sampling bias. Of course I'll still answer all of them due to my crippling statistics addiction, but it's no secret that Tumblr's user base is not exactly a normal sample of the world's population.

I have an unquenched thirst for in-depth surveys that adequately account for sample bias through demographic questions and then later publish their findings.

These kinds of things do pop up here from time to time, but they're few and far between.

（DeepL訳）スパゲッティを食べる： スプーン？ スパゲッティをフォークで絡めやすくするために、あなたはスプーンを使うだろうか？ 私はずっと、スプーンを使うのはマナー違反で、イタリア人は絶対にしないと聞かされてきた。最近、私のイタリア人の友人は、反対にフランス人だけがスプーンを使わないと考えていることを知った。 そこで、ちょっと調べてみようと思い、Reddit SampleSizeにアンケートを投稿してみた。300人が参加し（あなたも今すぐアンケートに答えてください！）、これまで発表された中で最大のスパゲッティ・スプーン調査となった！ 回答者の62%はスパゲッティを食べるときにスプーンを使ったことがないが、17%はいつもスプーンを使っている。 これは、人々がスプーンを使うことがある国を示した地図である： (地図は大目に見てください。回答者が9人以上の国は以下の通り： オーストラリア、カナダ、フランス、日本、ドイツ、オランダ、スウェーデン、イギリス、アメリカ） 隣人がスプーンを使っていたら？ 気にしない」「普通だ」というものから、「不愉快だ、気持ち悪い」「不潔なカジュアルだ」というものまで、さまざまな反応がある： 北欧はどちらかというとスプーンに寛容だが、他の国はそうでもない： スプーン： フォーマルかインフォーマルか？ 非常に驚くべき対立がある： - 2％がインフォーマルな場面でのみスプーンを使う、 - 9％はフォーマルな場面でのみスプーンを使う！ フォーマルかインフォーマルかに焦点を当ててみよう。どうやら、スプーンはポーランドやデンマーク、そしてドイツや北米ではフォーマルなものと考えられているようだ。それ以外の地域では、むしろインフォーマルと考えられている： あるフィンランド人の回答者はこう結論づけた： 「このあたりではナイフとフォークが普通だが、スプーンを使うのが正しいやり方だ。その通り。「ナイフ」。これは次の記事のテーマかもしれない。 私は生データを公開した。 www.DeepL.com/Translator（無料版）で翻訳しました。

What Do You Call That Bug: Bug Map Survey Results 2.0

The results are in for wave 2 of my survey about the vernacular names for a particular kind of bug! Before I get into it, I should mention that I’ve left the survey open to allow for possible future waves of data analysis, so if you haven’t completed the survey but would like to, you may do so here (be aware that the survey contains a photo of the bug in question!). Also, if you’d just like to see a photo of the relevant bug, you may do so here.

Including the data from wave 1, I got a total of 1,091 survey responses. I’ll include a detailed breakdown of the sample at the end for reference, but the important things to know are that a majority of respondents (78%) are American, and that I advertised the survey on both Tumblr and Reddit (r/SampleSize) this time, so I’ve included a couple of Reddit vs Tumblr subsample comparisons.

With that out of the way, onto the results!

Names for That Bug

Here’s how often each of the names for That Bug were selected, specifically among respondents who were familiar with the bug (how I defined “familiar” is included at the end, for the curious):

For the sample overall, “Jerusalem cricket” is solidly the most commonly-selected name, being chosen by a majority of respondents (57.2%). “Potato bug” was a distant second at 34.1%, followed by sand cricket at 17.8%. All other terms were fairly uncommon, with a selection rate of ~5% or less.

Respondents were allowed to select multiple names, but most only selected a single term (249/320, or ~78% of the familiar respondents). However, among familiar respondents who selected more than 1 name, nearly half specifically selected the combination of “Jerusalem cricket” and “potato bug” (32 selecting that combination vs. 38 selecting some other combination of names).

A number of respondents wrote that they would just call That Bug a “cricket”, which I considered too general to group with the other names that are more specific to That Bug. A pretty solid handful of folks guessed that it might be a mole cricket, but that’s actually a different critter (although it does look very similar and so it is understandable that it could be confused for That Bug). A few folks also guessed that it was a weta, which also looks quite similar and is in fact fairly closely related to That Bug, being part of the same superfamily (Stenopelmatoidea).

Names by Region

Here’s how the selected names varied by US region:

“Jerusalem cricket” was the top name across the board, but how dominant it was over “potato bug” and “sand cricket” varied a bit. “Child of the Earth” also appears to be more common in the West than elsewhere, which is worth examining further.

What happens when you look at the more specific sub-regions? Let’s find out!

“Jerusalem cricket” is reasonably common everywhere (although it ranges from being selected just under half the time to roughly 2/3rds of the time):

“Potato bug” varies much more dramatically by sub-region, being selected by a majority of respondents in the Pacific West but occurring much less often elsewhere, including the neighboring Mountain West, where it was only selected ~13% of the time!:

“Sand cricket” was somewhat uncommon across most sub-regions with a roughly 20-30% selection rate, on average, although it was notably less common in the Pacific West than anywhere else (only ~6%!):

Finally, “Child of the Earth” occurred rarely or never in most sub-regions, but emerged as a somewhat uncommon but not outright rare term in the Mountain West:

Notably, every single familiar respondent from New Mexico (n = 4 only, but still) selected “Child of the Earth”. It was also selected by a handful of respondents in Arizona and California, lending credence to it possibly being a Southwestern regional term.

Overall, one of the striking differences across sub-regions is the extent to which “Jerusalem cricket” is selected relative to “potato bug”, as shown here:

Notably, the Pacific West, unlike all other regions, showed a preference for “potato bug” over “Jerusalem cricket”. This was fascinating to me, so I looked into it a little more, and it appears that this is driven predominantly by Californians preferring “potato bug” (66%:45%), since Oregonians and Washingtonians preferred “Jerusalem cricket”:

It’s worth noting that a few other states besides California (Illinois, Michigan, South Carolina, and New Hampshire) show numerical preference for “potato bug” over “Jerusalem cricket,” but each of them has very small sample sizes (<10 familiar respondents), so I wouldn’t take the pattern too seriously for those other states.

Sample sizes for state-level maps are generally QUITE small (the sub-region maps are already probably pushing it a bit, tbh), but what if we throw caution to the wind and look at the most commonly selected name for each state anyway? HUGE asterisk to this map in that a pretty substantial majority of states are based on very small sample sizes and so this should be taken with a MAJOR grain of salt, but here’s what you get (it’s probably the closest I’ve come to my original Bug Map vision so far ~):

Shout-out to the sole Rhode Island respondent who was able to unilaterally dictate that Rhode Island, in contrast to all other states, would have “sand cricket” as the state’s preferred term for That Bug on my silly map. That’s the kind of power I aspire to every day :)

Anyway, to sum up, “Jerusalem cricket” is generally the preferred name for That Bug, but “potato bug” is its most common name in California (and potentially a few other states), and “Child of the Earth” is its preferred name in New Mexico (and may generally be a regional term in the Southwestern US).

Familiarity with That Bug

Overall, 29.3% of respondents were familiar with That Bug. And, unsurprisingly, given that it’s a North American insect, Americans were significantly more familiar with it than non-Americans, with 34.3% of American respondents recognizing the bug, compared to 11.3% of non-Americans.

Here’s how the familiarity rate varies by sub-region:

Overall, respondents from the Western US were more familiar with That Bug than were respondents from Eastern states, with the Pacific West having the highest percentage of respondents who recognized the bug (45.8%) and the Mid-Atlantic having the lowest among Americans (22.8%), although the familiarity rate among Mid-Atlantic respondents was still twice that of non-Americans (11.3%).

 Tumblr vs Reddit Comparisons

A significantly higher percentage of the Tumblr sample was familiar with That Bug (34.8%) compared to the Reddit subsample (17.3%), with this pattern extending to both American and non-American respondents:

I suspect this difference is likely due to the tagging and reblogging features of Tumblr meaning that the survey was likely seen by a greater proportion of “bug enthusiasts” on Tumblr compared to Reddit.

In support of that explanation, the Tumblr comments about the bug were more likely to be positive rather than negative in tone (47:34), while the reverse was true for the Reddit sample (16:6; a statistically significant difference, fwiw, at χ2 = 6.55, p = .01):

From this, I would suspect that the Reddit familiarity rate is probably more accurate to the general population, although I would suspect that it is probably still inflated from the “true” percentage, since respondents had to opt-in to filling out a survey about a bug to be counted at all.

The Reddit/Tumblr subsamples were otherwise generally pretty similar to each other.

Conclusions

In sum, That Bug is relatively obscure, with only around a third of Americans and a tenth of non-Americans recognizing it. Among those who did recognize it, That Bug was most widely known as a “Jerusalem cricket”, but its other names saw some use, too. “Potato bug” was the most common term for it among Californians, for example, while New Mexicans preferred “Child of the Earth.” And, of course, our esteemed Rhode Island representative went with “sand cricket” ~

Personally, I’m from the Western US, and before doing this project, I’d never heard of the term “potato bug” used for anything other than roly-polies (and, based on the comments, I’m not the only one with this experience). It’s fascinating to me how these common names can refer to wildly different things, without people even necessarily being aware of the potential alternate meanings!

I do wonder, however, whether a subset of respondents might have selected “potato bug” because they’d heard the term before, but potentially had (without their knowledge) only heard it being used to refer to a different kind of bug entirely. I don’t have a great way to test that currently, but I am considering doing a follow-up survey about that some day.

Anyway, that’s all for now! Thanks again to everyone who completed the survey or who read any of this! <3

Other Stuff

Wave 1 results post

Familiarity definition: Respondents were considered “familiar” with That Bug for the purposes of this analysis if they did NOT select the “I am unfamiliar with this bug” option AND provided a valid name for the bug, either by selecting one of the provided options OR providing a specific name in the “other” text. Overly vague responses (e.g., “cricket”) or names of other bugs (e.g., mole cricket) were not considered valid names for this purpose.

Sample details: Here’s a couple of tables with the sample broken down by source and region. The non-parenthetical numbers are the total responses and the parenthetical numbers are the number of “familiar” respondents.
