i think its a giant water bug
I found this but at my cottage on Georgian Bay , I think that it is a Giant Water bug, it has 4 legs, 2 “pincers” at the front, and looks like it has “fangs”. It was pretty large, and hopefully you can identify it from the pictures. Can you send me some information about this bug please?
Thanks!
Brett

Hi Brett,
You are correct. This is a Giant Water Bug also known as a Toe-Biter. You can find many photos and much information on our Toebiter page by clicking the link in the alphabatized list on the left side of the www.whatsthatbug.com homepage.
