All I know about them is that they have legs that look too long for their
bodies and they have a shape resembling a violin/fiddle on them -
unfortunately I've forgotten whether it's on their backs or undersides. They
are BAD news. We didn't have them here at one time, but truckers deliver
many things and so do some tourists - there's no knowing which method of
transportation brought them, only that they are here now .....
