Do you want your roasted beans with spider flavoring or without ?

My late dad always maintained that he didn't want to drink newly
pressed wine(*) because of the squashed spiders in it, although for
some reason he didn't have the same objection to fully matured wine.
And make no mistake, all sorts of arthropods end up in there.
I think a number of years ago, there was a minor panic in the local
wine-growing region because a type of ladybug had exploded in
numbers.  Wait, ladybugs feeds on aphids and are useful, aren't
they?  Generally yes, but apparently this kind had developed a taste
for those oh-so-sweet grapes, so they ended up getting pressed into
the juice and they had a sufficiently foul taste that the vintners
were afraid the whole vintage would be spoiled.

I'm struggling to find the right term. Wikipedia's entry is

Is there no better-established English name?
