Giant Water Bug - Lethocerus americanus (also known as toe-biters or electric light bugs). These fascinating aquatic insects are known for their large size, powerful front pincers, unique behavior and surprisingly fascinating personality. They are fierce hunters known for preying on fish, amphibians, and a variety of aquatic invertebrates like snails and crustaceans.
They typically remain still, clinging to submerged objects, patiently waiting for unsuspecting prey to approach. When the moment is right, they launch a rapid attack. Great for collectors, educators, aquatic displays or as exotic pets.
