Giant Water Bug

*Be Sure to enter my Pioneer Women Cookbook Giveaway, click here for details.*

The other night around 10:30 at night DT was working on his truck outside and I was peacefully enjoying a glass of wine and catching up on some good TV.  When DT runs into the house screaming, Come see this!!  Then I heard skeeter barking and immediately thought he found a possum for something.

Turns out he spotted this huge Bug, at our back door.

Then he said run in and take a picture, but as you can tell I was not getting near this thing.

Just look at its front pinchers, all I could imagine was it flying on me and grabbing hold.  I would literally have a heart attack right there, I don’t like bugs.

Much less bugs that are about 2-3 inches long.  EEK!

So after some searching on the internets, I discovered this is a Giant Water Bug, aka Toe Biter,  double eek!

They live in water!  So what the hell was it doing on my back porch?   But DT and I being the softies we are decided that such an unusual creature should live, so he dropped him off in a neighboring pasture.  Hopefully he will make his way to some water.

So tell me Have you ever seen a bug like this?
