Unknown Bug
Hello
We have these bugs that just show up this time of year. We live just out of Dawson Creek B.C. Canada. They don’t live long as it gets cold at night. We have checked the web and can’t seem to find what they are. I think they come with the warm winds we get this time of year. One got on my husband finger when he was taking the pictures and he said it felt like it had little barbs like a blade of grass. It sure would be nice to find out what they are. Thanks
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
We find your potfull of Toe-Biters, or Giant Water Bugs, quite amusing. Larger relatives of the American species are eaten as a delicacy in Thailand.
