Ahhh, the old "roly-poly" - but I have not heard the term "cheesy-pigs". I will definitely have to remember that!
I have to wonder if the venomous rumor began just due to their looks as they do look rather intimidating. I can say, though, this is the reason I have taken to using proper/Latin terms for plants when I can - I guess I'll have to do the same for insects when possible. Common names vary so much by region and by age group - a Daddy Long Legs in So California definitely is not the same as a Daddy Long Legs in the Great North.
Once again,
to ATP - I am so happy you have joined us!
