Gryllus darwini, Otte & Peck, 1997, a cricket species in the genus Gryllus
Subspecies Acris gryllus gryllus is found in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from southeastern Virginia through the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, west to the Mississippi River.
The book's title turns about the belief of its owner, Gregory Gryll, 'though he found it difficult to trace the pedigree, that he was lineally descended from the ancient and illustrious Gryllus, who maintained against Ulysses the superior happiness of the life of other animals to that of the life of man.'
It is a major plot point in the The Big Bang Theory episode "The Jiminy Conjecture", where Sheldon wrongly believes that a common field cricket, Gryllus assimilis, found in the apartment, is a snowy tree cricket.
The Pig Scrolls (2004), by Paul Shipton, is a young adult comedy adventure novel about a talking pig (Gryllus) and his endeavours to save the world.
