this bug?
Good day,
My Husband found these Bugs (about 12 of them) on our deck in Wynndel B.C.. I think they were attracted to our “Bug Light”. Could you please let us know what they are.
Thank you

Your insects are Giant Water Bugs, aquatic predators that also fly quite well.  They are also known as Electric Light Bugs because they are attracted to lights, sometimes in great numbers.  The other common name, Toe-Biter, speaks for itself.
