What in the World?
This nasty looking thing showed up on our back porch in Pearland, Texas (actually flew in). We have not been able to figure out what in the world it is. We just moved to this area and have never seen anything like it. Any idea what it is and if it is dangerous? I appreciate any info you can give me.Thank you,
Angie

Hi Angie,
Giant Water Bugs are commonly called Toe-Biters, and they will bite. The bite is painful, but they are not dangerous.
