  • Look up "backswimmer bite" on a search engine and you'll find out more. They aren't dangerous -- just painful. They might help to keep your pool clean of other bugs that are unfortunate enough to fall in there!

  • @sideskraft

    Most likely you will never find somebody who was bite by them.

    Look these page, only in German: hydro-kosmos.de/winsekt/notost­ch.htm
