Found this crawling across a parking lot in Burns, OR. Looks almost cockroach-like, but doesn’t have antennae.

Dear Visiting in Burns,
This is a Giant Water Bug or Toe-Biter, an aquatic predator that can also fly from pond to pond in search of prey. The Giant Water Bug was our featured Bug of the Month in June 2008.
I hate these things!! They growl at you too.
Burns has a huge lake…
