"Giant Water Bugs breathe using a syphon at their rear"

so it can breathe out of its ass?

[832existentialiste]

i don't see any more of these nowadays. back in the mid90s, after it has rained, these were everywhere on the road.

[HuliJingTheFox]

I encountered one of these in Regina Saskatchewan at a loading dock in September, it was dying, but still seeing a large arthropod when its 7 degrees outside was odd.

[lostd00d]

found one at work today didnt know what it was till today n iv always heard of water bugs jus never saw one

[skulltrucked]

would these things eat a whole loaf of bread?

[tvd951]

Ugly add bug

[TheHeathenAngel]

In florida around Lake Okeechobee we call them gator bugs



[agnesbitt729]

Saw one of these while vacationing in Orlando, Florida last summer. Biggest freakin' bug I've EVER seen. I told my husband to step on it and his response? "Ashley, these are the kind of bugs you shoot if you want them dead. Stepping on them only piss them off."....

[blackkat77]

are these in canada too? if i found one i would want it as a pet they are so cute!!!

[benchod94]

@blackkat77 yeah I work at a auto shop we can basically sweep them up so many but none get this big

[jman3267]

@blackkat77

Yes, I saw one near Calgary. You might not want to handle one though. They have one of the most painful bites for an insect. They aren't poisonous but they inject very acidic saliva when they bite.

[blackkat77]

@jman3267 YIKES lol well i was planning to get one under glass anyways (taxidermy)

[SoftSailz]

@jman3267 i found one in my basement in Calgary

[Dickbaum]

[SoftSailz]

@0neye1 i found one about 3 monts ago in my basement in alberta, canada

[KingJulien234]

[MtaBus5102]

Question, do these creepy bugs bite attack people?

[SuperLuigiBros]

@MtaBus5102 They sure do, they're poisonous actually..

[0neye1]

Yes in Thailand I had one not the best tasting it was a bit crunchy

[chun2005]

I think asian people eat this.

[0neye1]

Yarh I let it go in the pond next door with all the frogs, there are on frogs there now.

[xaviergar123]

[xaviergar123]

[OhStylo]

ROBOT MANJUICE! Kill it with fire! But look at it, it just wants back into its cozy pond to swim free, I had a change-o-heart, let it go!

[YTPChannle404]

[kurrizzle]

These should be turned into a pokemon.

Dude, it could be a Bug-Water type that would be just fucking beast.

[TheGreaterGood80]

[beavisTV68]

[Asm0dis]

[mar265330]

[FiliPinoy95]

[deaftodd]

That big?? Wow!

[THungonies]

The males migrate from their ponds or lakes at night to find better habitat or mates. They accomplish their migrations through flight witch they are also proficient in.

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

*runs to grab lighter and camera*

[0neye1]

Other behaviours and adaptations

They fly between hunting sites and are attracted to lights, including car headlights. They are known to occasionally bite humans when disturbed - a very painful experience.

[THungonies]

@0neye1

Indeed I was bitten by one on the two a couple of summers ago and the wound was huge started to go into necrosis.

[TheBadcop]

I live in Toronto and just found a dead one outside my house (we live near a pond).

Neither myself nor my neighbors have ever seen one of these before.

I read that they have one of the most painful insect bites on the planet.

[cutie3699]

[0neye1]
