Aquatic BugsFriends for breakfast
These are some pictures of some bugs that came in to visit for breakfast the other morning. Any idea of the correct name? I would think that it is some part of the beetle family as many of the critters over here are. It is coming up on time for the invasion of the Bombardier Beetles, or "Acid Bugs" as we call them, due to the serious burns they inflict. Happy hunting!Regards,

Hi Kearney,
Giant Water Bugs, or Toe Biters as they are called in the U.S., are not beetles, but true bugs. They are aquatic predators that also fly quite well. They will bite if provoked, so those gloves were a smart idea.
