Giant Water Bug
These not-so-little water bugs, as their name suggests, live between aquatic and terrestrial environments. They often hunt for small insects and even fish in the water, but can be seen flying around lights at night, giving them the nickname "electric light bug". They are also commonly called "toe biters" because they can deliver a very painful bite when provoked.

''Lethocerus americanus'' is a giant water bug in the family Belostomatidae, native to North America. It was originally classified as a species in genus ''Belostoma''.
