No, this is a common myth, but a potato bug sting is not venomous.

=======================================

This question can be confusing because there are at least two critters known as "Child of the Earth". One is a large arachnid that is also called a Windscorpion and the other is a cricket known as a Potato Bug or Jerusalem Cricket. Neither has a stinger, but both can bite. The bites are non-venomous, though bites can become infected.
