I don’t think Mr Norfolk is in big trouble, and Mrs Norfolk shouldn’t worry too much.
There are three critters that I know of that are commonly called “potato bug”: the Colorado potato beetle, jerusalem cricket, and pill bug.

Which ever you have I don’t think the tree is in much danger, they are probably feeding on organic matter in the soil, but could go to munching on the roots.
