Gonna have to think of some creative use for him (or her)

There are a couple of folks I can think of that would have the proper appreciation of one of these down the back of their shirt...:naughty:

Or maybe in their purse...:laughing:

Do those things hibernate through the winter? Or do they just hatch that big? seems awfully early (April for chrissake) for a freshly hatched waterbug to get that big...

Good point, I'm pretty sure it's not the same one, as I released "Bitey" into the wilds of the storm sewer near my home, which is about two miles as the bug crawls.

You could sell those to an entomophagy if you know any . The water bugs here in the US are actually a little on the small side , when compared to the ones in Thailand. I've only encountered freeze dried ones from Thailand, they are about 4 inches head to rear, and stinky.

"entomophagy"...hmmm, if I cipher them word parts correct-like, yer talkin about a "bug eater"...yum.
