man this dude is an idiot. a giant water bug is a GIANT WATER BUG. A cockroach is a COCKROACH. two totally different insects

[Davidzlocker2]

what's funny is they actually post a picture of a water bug (Lethocerus americanus? Maybe?) But call it a cockroach??? There is a TOTALLY different method for killing water bugs.

Water bugs are also considered a "true bug" by definition (order Hemiptera infraorder Nepomorpha), roaches under the order Blattaria or Blattodea. Water bugs are also predatory, they have pointed sucking mouth parts. They also have a NASTY bite, that is said to be MORE painful than a bee sting, because it releases enzymes that turn flesh into liquid they can suck much like a spider bite. The position of the front legs distinguish the water bug from a roach. This guy should do his research.
