what is this bug i found in the mountains of Haiti
Hello,
I found this bug in our garage. I live in port-au-prince, haiti at about 3000 feet above sea level.
Thanks,
Joel Trimble

Hi Joel,
This is a Giant Water Bug, also known as a Toe-Biter. They are aquatic insects that can also fly. While flying they are attracted to electric lights, owing to another common name, Electric Light Bug. Perhaps the garage light attracted it.
