known as giant water bugs or colloquially as toe-biters

In various parts of southeast Asia, the species Lethocerus indicus is used as food, or as a source of extracts.

I was in California years ago at an outlet mall. It was 'june bug' season...thousands flock to this mall for some random reason and then die. Dead june bugs literally blanket the sidewalks.
