Please tell me this pic was taken by one of our spacecraft traveling away from Earth. And going very fast. Away. Far away.
this is a bug that carries its eggs on its back. 🙂
I would have thought that one was shopped but thanks to bugzilla I’ll never walk barefooted in the dark again.
ever
Bugzilla beat me to it! I knew they were eggs, i can’t believe that i learned something in Bio 10….
I can’t believe what I learn here on Bits and Pieces. ( Mostly that Infidel will hit it, but there are other things, yes)
I bet that zimmerman guy eats these with regularity!!
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
This thing could cause me to become a hermit.
This thing will also bite and suck blood
Wow bugs are freaking weird… not as weird as deep sea creatures though. Most of the time at least. I forgot what it was called, and i couldn’t find it on google within two minutes, but theres one deep sea fish that is long, thin, transparent (as in you can see inside it, through its skin and scales) and it swims vertically with a huge dorsal fin it waves from side to side.
Belostomatidae is a family of insects in the Order Hemiptera, known as giant water bugs or colloquially as toe-biters. They are the largest insects in the order Hemiptera, and occur worldwide, with most of the species in North America, South America and East Asia. They are typically encountered in freshwater streams and ponds. Most species are relatively large (2 cm or more) with some of the largest, such as Lethocerus, exceeding 12 cm, and nearly reaching the dimensions (length and mass) of some of the larger beetles in the world. Giant water bugs are a popular food in Thailand.
This is a male. They carry the eggs on their backs
It’s a water bug.
