Giant water bug
The giant water bug is a large, flat-bodied insect that lives in ponds, marshes and slow streams. It hunts other animals, including small fish and frogs, and it can give a painful bite if handled. It is found in southern Canada and the United States.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Adults are about 5–6 cm long.1
- It has natural camouflage that helps it hide in the water.1
- It swims using its hind legs.1
- Its front pair of legs is used to grab and hold prey.1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: It is often confused with Benacus griseus, which can be told apart by grooves on its front femora (the thick upper parts of the front legs) that fit the tibiae when folded. It is very similar to L. uhleri.1

Khatarta dadka: Xanuun badanAad buu u xanuunjin karaa, laakiin ku dhowaad weligiis khatar weyn ma aha.A bite is painful and may happen if the bug is handled or disturbed. It prefers to avoid people rather than confront them.1
Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
When disturbed, it first tries to escape or play dead, then raises its front legs and hind end in a fighting stance, and may latch on and bite.1
Haddii uu qaniino
- Timaha mudda ee dirxiga: ku qaad cajalad dhegdheg ah, kadib dhaq maqaarka. Ha xoqin.
- Qaniinyada: dhaq oo qabooji. Hel caawimaad caafimaad haddii qofku dareemo xanuun ama uu si fudud u dhiig baxo.

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
It breathes air trapped under its wings, using two snorkel-like tubes at the back of its abdomen.1
Several bugs may hunt together and share the same prey.1
Few young survive to adulthood, because adults eat other nymphs and other predators also hunt them.1
It can be attracted to electric lights while flying at night, which gives it the name electric light bug.1
Adults survive winter by burrowing under mud and leaf litter.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: It is a 'toe biter' that goes looking for people to bite.
Run: It prefers to avoid humans. It bites mainly when it is handled or disturbed.1
