A Mexican red knee has pretty much always been called that so far as I know. I doubt the common name Orange bitey thing will go away anytime soon. I can't picture anyone getting confused as to what a Cobalt blue is or a Singapore blue either.Typically the most common tarantulas have the most standardized common names.Still, it's best to know both, especially if they have a medically significant bite.</blockquote>
