How can i get one

[Reptiliatus]

@MsRetardados I actually just found this one outside in a river.. :P you can easily find them in pond along the waters edge hidden in plants and reeds. Just take a small net and shift throught the aquatic veggetation along the shoreline :)!

[Reptiliatus]

@ServerWar2Ru Hi there, This is actually just a common name. It's an insect not an arachnid :). I believe it's a "Ranatra fusca".

I'm having a really hard time trying to find the difference between it this and a giant water bug. Is it just that these can be thinner and their claws are longer and the coloration? Or am I missing something?
