DON'T CLICK ON THE LINKS IF YOU ARE EASILLY BOTHERED BY BUGS AND CREEPIE-CRAWLIES...

I found him in a parking lot about to get run over =P
I brought him home and put him in the rose bushes, but what in the hell is he? I have never seen one before...
He didn't bite me or anything, and even rode home on the steering wheel...

Hehehe this critter looks like a giant water bug to me! And a female too, she has an egg tube on her rear!

One of the most painful bites ever, and to think i was handling this thing like it was a kitten.... sheesh....

...That's a pretty fat bug. Are you gonna feed it? What do water bugs eat anyway. :C

Awesome looking bug. If it were me though, he would have stayed in the parking lot. In fact, I would have moved my car to park on the other side of the lot from him.

Turns out they grab things like frogs, fish, snakes, etc, with their powerful front limbs, and then inject them with a venom that digests its insides, then they suck out the slurry like a spider does...

Yeah had I known this I wouldn't have picked her up. I am thankful she was amicable at least.

Krim, I don't know where she is now, I put here out with my pine trees in the back yard
