Your letter to the bugman:  This guy pulled into my work and this bug was in the back of his truck back in July.  He said he had been working out in the woods but never said where. If you could find out what this is, I’d be very interested in know. Thank you!

Toe-Biter

Dear Eagle Stop Karaoke Girl,
This is a Giant Water Bug or Toe-Biter in the family Belostomatidae, and based on this BugGuide image, it might be the Eastern Toe-Biter,
Benacus griseus.

So it was supposed to say centralia not entralia XD Thank you so much!
