My husband was ”tackled” by this bug last night, around midnight, in Brigham City, UT.
Whatever it is, it is HUGE!
Thank you for your help.

Toe-Biter

We never tire of posting images of Giant Water Bugs with feet for size reference because another common name for this insect is the Toe-Biter, a name that doubtless originated with youngsters getting bitten by this aquatic predator while swimming in ponds and lakes.
