Quote:...be VERY CAREFUL to keep your fingers away from its piercing mouth part or "beak" as it can inflict a very painful bite. It\'s mouth is actually not so much a "beak" as it is a sort of syringe -- like a mosquito, but larger and nastier.

Much like lions, tigers and humans, Giant Water Bugs are at the top of their food chain and keep populations of smaller invertebrate from exploding and taking over.
