This picture was taken by my friend in Puerto Rico. We were curious what kind of beetle this is and if it is indigenous to the island.

Dear Giancarlo,
This Toe-Biter is a Giant Water Bug, not a beetle. In addition to being aquatic, they are capable of flight and they are attracted to lights. It is indigenous to Puerto Rico.
