Best Answer

The potato bug is deadly only to potatoes which it eats.

It does not look like a potato. It is a chubby bug about the size of a peanut with white stripes going down the length of its body.

You will see them when you dig up your potatoes.

Yes, a potato bug can harm a human, but no, it does not kill a human. The term in question may refer to a range of arthropods such as blister beetles, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, and Jerusalem crickets. The Jerusalem cricket possesses strong mouthparts with which to burrow through soil and therefore tends to inflict a painful, non-venomous bite.
