In 1978 me and my parents moved from Grosse Ile to Temperance, Michigan. I had a fish tank and one of the occupants was a crayfish that I had caught on the island. One day in Temperance, I managed to scoop a large water bug out of a puddle near my parent's house, and I put it in my fish tank as a curiosity. A few hours later I returned to my room to find the waterbug at the top of the tank with my 4 year old crayfish dead and in the midst of being eaten. Bastard! I scooped it out and took it out into the driveway and STOMPED it!

@@Michaelkaydee - My younger niece was stung by a bee when we were swimming in the pool, so she started freaking out every time she saw one & demanded someone kill it. So we looked up facts about them, and I taught them (I have 2 nieces, the little one is 4, and her sister is 8) how important they are. Bees are responsible for every 4th bite of food we eat, so the girls & I started counting when we take bites of food…when we get to 4, out loud we say “THANK YOU BEES!” It has taught them to be deeply appreciative of bees, they no longer want them dead, they want them rescued & released, and it has opened up their little imaginations about other insects & arachnids that they’re fearful of. Every time they think of something that scares them, they ask me to Google the good things it does, and we learn about how the bugs that scare them are keeping them safe. It’s been SO much fun & even I get to learn things I didn’t know. They also don’t bitch as much about eating their food, lol! Now that they’re excited to thank the bees every 4th bite, they can’t wait to eat as much as they can. We’ve found so many amazing resources, and if anything, I’m surprised by how many people DO appreciate inspects, and do understand the incredibly important role they play in balancing our ecosystem. I agree with you…most people do know how important insects are and there are more people than I’ve ever realized fighting to protect their habitats, their species, and their resources. If anything, people are less inclined to see how delicate the planet really is, and how deeply we’ve contributed to life’s inevitable unsustainably on it. People seem to think there’s an endless supply of everything that every species on the planet needs in order to thrive. IMO, the problem isn’t that people don’t know how important insects are, it’s that we think we’re far more important than any other living thing on the planet, & we’re unwilling to change our practices, even if by doing so we’re able to repair some of the damage we’ve caused…giving every species, including our own, the opportunity to restore its population & replenish natural resources.

The reason they are called "Electric Light Bugs" is because they are unlikely to get attracted by conventional home lightning. Either bug lights or strong post lights are all they go for, so you may live near water bodies your entire life and never notice them until you decide to take a walk at the night after a rainy day. Also, while they can fly, it's definitely not something they do for hunting or defense. Anyways, beware of large insects buzzing. Once they latch onto something soft, they bite viciously and only let go if they receive a sharp blow. I'd not be surprised if they suck some ml's worth of your skin tissue if left unatended (unlikely since their bite hurts like hell).

My first encounter with the giant waterbed was when I was doing a tour in Vietnam. I was a Seabee. We built everything from loading docks, laundries, churches, bridges, lookout tower, etc. One day, in our shop, someone had one of these bugs mounted to a post with a sixteen penny nail. The blasted thing must have been about four inches long. If I was lucky.....LOL.....enough to have a night watch at the entry to our part of Camp Barnes, these waterbeds would fly around by the dozens. Hitting the tin roof of the little shack i would be in, they sounded like someone was throwing stones on the roof. When they slid off the roof they would land at my feet. Not many escaped the butt of my rifle.

@@tibbar1000 I just couldn't believe how aggressive these ones were in this particular spot. There was 4 of us and we were all having to keep an eye on the little buggers. It was in Lassen National Park BTW. Don't remember the name of the pond though.
They werent trying to just bite you, they were trying to eat you.
bruh...finally i know what this thing is. i remember as a very young child, i was catching frogs in a tiny murky little pond in southern italy. you couldnt see under the water and i pulled out one of these things (thinking it was a frog). till this day 35 years later i will never forget it. it was enormous and terrifying. i threw it right back in and never told anybody...over the years the memory became more and more hazy and i started to consider the fact that maybe i just imagined it...but i didnt! it was this thing!
These things also fly....when I was a kid in Greece, there were things flying under the street lights in summer and one of those (it was huge) landed next to me as I was looking at the other bugs that were gathered. Scary little bastards!
That's Crazy
I to have been bitten by one. It definitely is something we will never forget. Never again.
🤣🤣🤣
@@twotrunkz 1-10 how painful?
In 1978 me and my parents moved from Grosse Ile to Temperance, Michigan. I had a fish tank and one of the occupants was a crayfish that I had caught on the island. One day in Temperance, I managed to scoop a large water bug out of a puddle near my parent's house, and I put it in my fish tank as a curiosity. A few hours later I returned to my room to find the waterbug at the top of the tank with my 4 year old crayfish dead and in the midst of being eaten. Bastard! I scooped it out and took it out into the driveway and STOMPED it!
I would be mad too! It got a taste of your driveway 😂
@Alister Black this person was just a kid at the time. It’s just a bug- relax 🙄
@@adnamallerom4137 Alister is just mad he didn't get to eat the bug before they squished it
LOL :))))))) Just one question. If you put it there with your fish, why were you mad at it?
@@JDA2185 No, they just ignored it.
The "Giant Water Beetle" is brutal. I had one for a pet years ago. I would drop a grasshopper on the water and he would grab it. Their bite is excruciating. They inject an enzyme which is hell and a lump forms on the bite site. I believe they can fly also.
A lump? Yikes!
@@draygoes Well the lump is basically your dead cells and inflammation from the venom. Just be glad it can only kill a small part of your body.
Yeah I've found em in asphalt parking lots cause it looks like water from the air and they try to land on it
Ah yes the SECOND worse thing about them.. they can fucking fly..
Yikes! Roach on steroids. I wondered why I always saw them all over the parking lot after work.
That’s just amazing. This creature can swim and hunt under water, come out and not only walk out of water but also fly!!?? It’s unstoppable and can go anywhere
I read years ago about an insect expert who was attempting to collect one of these giant water bugs - he was stung - he said that it felt like bolt s of electricity were pulsating thru his body - causing him to faint
People do not see the importance and impact of Insects in the world.But I like that they are at least getting to know 1 Insect by 1 Insect, the most important multicellular Creatures in the world .
Most people actually do know the importance of insects
I step on these little devils when I see them at work.
I know this . Me way out in Texas!🇺🇸😉
@@LClark-ry9to lol same here.
@@Michaelkaydee - My younger niece was stung by a bee when we were swimming in the pool, so she started freaking out every time she saw one & demanded someone kill it. So we looked up facts about them, and I taught them (I have 2 nieces, the little one is 4, and her sister is 8) how important they are. Bees are responsible for every 4th bite of food we eat, so the girls & I started counting when we take bites of food…when we get to 4, out loud we say “THANK YOU BEES!” It has taught them to be deeply appreciative of bees, they no longer want them dead, they want them rescued & released, and it has opened up their little imaginations about other insects & arachnids that they’re fearful of. Every time they think of something that scares them, they ask me to Google the good things it does, and we learn about how the bugs that scare them are keeping them safe. It’s been SO much fun & even I get to learn things I didn’t know. They also don’t bitch as much about eating their food, lol! Now that they’re excited to thank the bees every 4th bite, they can’t wait to eat as much as they can. We’ve found so many amazing resources, and if anything, I’m surprised by how many people DO appreciate inspects, and do understand the incredibly important role they play in balancing our ecosystem. I agree with you…most people do know how important insects are and there are more people than I’ve ever realized fighting to protect their habitats, their species, and their resources. If anything, people are less inclined to see how delicate the planet really is, and how deeply we’ve contributed to life’s inevitable unsustainably on it. People seem to think there’s an endless supply of everything that every species on the planet needs in order to thrive. IMO, the problem isn’t that people don’t know how important insects are, it’s that we think we’re far more important than any other living thing on the planet, & we’re unwilling to change our practices, even if by doing so we’re able to repair some of the damage we’ve caused…giving every species, including our own, the opportunity to restore its population & replenish natural resources.
I've never had a genuine phobia or major discomfort with insects, but THIS thing actually makes me shudder and cover my feet up at night. Its also the reason i don't go swimming in ponds anymore.
Me too. I don't mess with anything that has a butt snorkel.
I mean, to be honest, you really shouldn't swim in ponds, anyway. 😕 Lots of nasty stuff going on in those.
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 Agreed, and i dont but not everyone can afford a pool or go to the beach.
@@soldyrkare5790i wouldn't go to a beach either, considering how the water is full of even worse stuff, such as flesh eating isopods.
The Water Scorpion looks like an Assassin Bug adapted for the water.
Water Bugs and Water Escorpions are closely related to stinkbugs and assassin bugs.
@@TRak598I think you’re 100% spot on.
Does anybody else feel itchy after watching this?
The reason they are called "Electric Light Bugs" is because they are unlikely to get attracted by conventional home lightning. Either bug lights or strong post lights are all they go for, so you may live near water bodies your entire life and never notice them until you decide to take a walk at the night after a rainy day. Also, while they can fly, it's definitely not something they do for hunting or defense. Anyways, beware of large insects buzzing. Once they latch onto something soft, they bite viciously and only let go if they receive a sharp blow. I'd not be surprised if they suck some ml's worth of your skin tissue if left unatended (unlikely since their bite hurts like hell).
I grew up in NY swimming in streams and lakes and never heard of these until this video... How common are they? Apparently they exist in NY, and NYC has an issue of htem, but I've never seen or heard of these before.... Crawfish however...
Man am I happy I came into this world at the top of the food chain! The smallest here creatures pretty much live in HELL.
echoing your thoughts😄😏😔
Me too. Sometimes I think to myself what a cruel world we live in, that water bugs exist. Then I remember: as scary as they are, I'm far more terrifying. I could crush these buggers on a whim, smash their organs bare for all to see. A water bug can't say the same about me.
When I was little I got bit by a diving Beetle once. I didn't know what it was at first but I saw at the whip like tail propelling it through the water in the pool which hadn't been clean for a while. It felt like a large bee sting and I was a bit freaked out
Lying mf.
They are strong enough to catch small turtles and the diving beetle jaws are powerful enough to crunch snails
"Butt snorkel" - I'm dying😂
Hilarious! Sounds almost like a Trump witticism, doesn't it!!!
The biggest one I caught was at night when I was trying to catch shrimp for my aquarium. I ended up keeping him to. And yeah I'm glad it never bit me or anything like that.
"Butt snorkel" 🤣🤣
My father, when I was a child, always taught me to leave spiders and insects in the home. He said they protected the home in the order.
Yea so cockroaches are cool too? They are just picking up your unused food..
@@markmiranda9461 They never clean up after themselves. Leaving a sticky residue behind, and smell like rotting cherries.
How'd we go from Giant Water Bug to Great Diving Beetle? I'm genuinely confused 🙄😩🥴
Me too! I am still in great pain from processing this great narrative jump, unable to walk or talk...
This video is more about drama than taxonomic accuracy.
This is the first time I've heard about these things and I grew up playing in Lakes and Streams/Rivers in NY... Apparently they are a big issue in NYC, and can be found in NY.... I'm surprised I never encountered one of these before... Now Crawfish is another matter. Those things were everywhere.
I was bitten on the foot, not toe though, by a Giant Water Beetle when I was a kid. Hurt like heck! After that, whenever I found any swarming around a light source, I’d step on one in revenge. Don’t do that anymore though. Grew up!
Good on you!
Ok
I've found rhese a dozen times in parking lots miles from water- they migrate from small creeks or ponds at night flying hundreds of feet in the Air and the fluorescent lights in parking lots looks like moonlight on water from 200 feet up- found em teicein tennis courts too.
All these mechanisms to breath and slurp is fascinating. The only downside to it is I happen to have a phobia for bugs especially anything that has an ability of flight.
My first encounter with the giant waterbed was when I was doing a tour in Vietnam. I was a Seabee. We built everything from loading docks, laundries, churches, bridges, lookout tower, etc. One day, in our shop, someone had one of these bugs mounted to a post with a sixteen penny nail. The blasted thing must have been about four inches long. If I was lucky.....LOL.....enough to have a night watch at the entry to our part of Camp Barnes, these waterbeds would fly around by the dozens. Hitting the tin roof of the little shack i would be in, they sounded like someone was throwing stones on the roof. When they slid off the roof they would land at my feet. Not many escaped the butt of my rifle.
"Butt Snorkel" sounds like an insult the jocks would use in Revenge of the Nerds
Actually toe biter bugs can fly! They just decide not to usually because they stay underwater
I have some giant waterbugs as pets, they're pretty cool. One would need to be very careless to be bitten during handling though, since they have not enough articulation in their body to do anything when grabed by the sides of the shield. Also they're quite skittish and will swim to the opposite direction of someone's hand.
Could you please mention the units in metric too? would be very helpful thanks
If we have to learn both systems so do you my not so imperial friend
@@chrisszuch9482 no you hillbilly, the majority is using the superior metric system makes more sense in any way. Besides, most Europeans know 2 languages so the learning part is already done, degenerate
Do the math
Get smart
Why is the US always so far behind the rotw? ✌️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Humbling, and simply beautiful... Mother Nature, is the best!
Im more grossed out by the narrator repeating “butt snorkel” than I am by any of the insects.
I saw a lot of the Water Bug (Benacus Griseus) in central Florida. They were attracted out of the lakes to the street lights at night sometimes, I was never bitten by one, but was always careful handling them.
Not Lethocerus americanus?
I love the Kong: Skull Island clip of the Mother Longlegs.
in vietnam ,this bug just food:))
Ếch zác ly
?? In the developed world, we kill bugs instead of eating them. Enjoy, it's all yours.
🤮
My cellar has to be cleaned. Would you like an invitation for dinner?? 😝😝😝😝😝
Nobody would think this could be an alien.
Apparently have one of the most painful bites or stings in the entire insect kingdom according to Coyote Peterson who let himself get stung or bit by dozens of insects. There's actually a brief bit of his reaction at 2:54 of this video.
I collected those Beatles when i Was a kid! I always wondered why their bites were so painfull! I did like to look for them but never dared again to go barefooted in water where i knew who they are commonly in the water!
You…collected those?
@@shardinalwind7696 yup
These dangerous looking water bugs are in Kerala state in India. Often in monsoon season in the late evening they come flying and sit on the curtain in the veranda, at once the big red ants pin them down holding its legs and drag it to the ants nest to feast on the big bug those red ants are aggressive work in perfect army style in large numbers, the bug has no chance to liberate from the grip of the many ants.
After getting bitten by one years ago I keep the old red Ryder out on the boatdock to keep them in chek wen possible !
In most of SE Asia this bug is considered a delicacy, and the secretion of its tail is very odoriferous and hence very expensive
You are exactly right. I'm Thai. BTW, I would say that not only its odor, but the fried female with eggs is also amazingly delicious. The taste is quite similar to horseshoe crab eggs but the bug's egg is better in my opinion. ... Nowadays, a lot of young generation have never tried this menu because it looks gross and it's rare to find. If my parents didn't give me this menu to try when I was very young, I would not try it either.
@@mare-aura curiously it's the male that carries rhe eggs on his back
@@anthonyducoutumany6585 you can search on youtube with "แมงดาไข่ทอด". I guess it's from the stage before the male carries the eggs.

Live at the Ritz, it's Butt Snorkel!!!!
I love wildlife videos so much 💓💓
I remember that 1 vid with the bug just vibin, then mounting a marker then go for "Female is enough"
The bad thing about these water beetles is they fly at night, probably looking for new puddles with prey in them. You dont want to be riding your bike and have one hit you unexpectedly.
لاتحتقرن صغيرا في مخاصمة فإن البعوضة تدمي مقلة الاسد even if he is small he is strong and dangerous...
The way that spider was flicking around creeped me out lol
Me: gets off toilet immediately ……
That first bater wug with fwog legs and breathes thru a butt snorkel probably hails no doubt from the big "A" Australia 👀🤯
I can't help but chuckle every time butt snorkel is said.... immature I know
I got bit a few times by these giant water bugs. theres lots of them in Northern Ontario, theyre so creepy and agressive.
Did it hurt? Have only seen one central California 💦
Bro just had to steal a MORTEIN ad
one time I found a diving beetle in my luggage at the airport. Still have no idea how it got in there but it disappeared before I could grab it
Thank you. 😊
They are good eating, and are caught for sale in southeast asian markets.
It's not rational but I always feel like its a waste of sentience when simple animals kill more complex ones - like insects and spiders killing reptiles and birds, marine worms and cnidarians killing fish, fish killing birds, and reptiles killing mammals.
Butt snorkeling 😂😂
We have found several of these in our little pond. Ours are 1 1/2 - 2 inches long. Very menacing looking, we don't swim or wade in the pond because of them. Olympic Peninsula, WA, USA.
rattlesnakes hypnotize their foes, to lull them into a false sense of security, then they strike.
Awesome camera capture!
Bugs be like: "Yo what are you doing?" "Ey bro i am reacting fast" "Heheee, that's a good o- Bro where did you go?"
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
As a kid in TX we used to net them and make fishing lures.
This could be the next "ALIEN CREATURE" in sci fi .
This bug is nowhere near as terrifying as this guys voice.
Cool underwater creatures The Diving Beatle was my favourite
I better cancel that order to Amazon to order the scuba gear for sleeping underwater to avoid spiders!
Python: that things look like what im eating..
Pinsir beats arbok everytime 😂😂😂
I have horrible fear of those toe biters!!
That Diving Bell Spider is awesome. The Sci Fi channel should make a movie about a giant one but not use the cast of Sharknado.
I think we had a movie called 8 legged freaks
@@juanitawashington106 I was thinking more along the lines of the movie Deep Star Six, but with a Spider...that be a hell of a movie. 🤣👍🏻🕷
@@mostmuscular619 Oh HELL YES! (excuse my French)
@@juanitawashington106 Yes there was. I think it had Kari Wuhrer in it.
@@castleanthrax1833 Yep that's the one!
In Thailand we eat this water bug and it actually taste good😁
We call them “mang-da”
If you don't like them, get some largemouth bass that are too big for the water bugs. They'll eat all the water bugs in your pond that are of any significant size. If it will fit into a bass's mouth, it's lunch
“...and so, while none of these bugs are a threat to humans, it’s just a reminder that everything in nature is absolutely horrifying.” How can you say something like that? That’s so sad.
Sad? Don’t take it so seriously
Cause they fucking suck, just like humans. I’m sure the fish agree with me.
Do these water bugs (toe bitters) migrate from water to water across land? I had a strange occurrence with these insects in the forest where I seen hundreds of them crawling on the forest floor and we had to relocate our camping site cause even though they had awkward movements with their pinchers , they moved slowly in a huge group. I didn't follow this group but they moved on.
They can fly, so they can go from water to water by air.
One HELL of a bite.I quit swimming in ponds after i got hit by one.
Butt snorkel gets me everytime.
Their also called whip scorpions
I don't think it's horrifying, I think it's beautiful ❤️! Love Gods creations 😊
Do they have these everywhere? Ive never seen them in Pennsylvania thank god
i've seen water spider before. I really afraid of spiders. When it approched to me I screamed and ran away
Man I used to come across these water bugs in Florida. And I never knew they bit until I picked one up. Yep they they bite alright!
I keep them as pets when I was little, cleaning after their meal is quite troublesome I remember
The first time I saw this bug it was infront of my house in the trench, taught it was some kind of weird water Roach 🤣
Thai cooking uses them as a spice in some of their dishes.
Underwater assassin bugs 😳
Thats what I was thinking. Assassin bug are awesome
The diving bell spider has large fangs and a nasty bite. The venom can be significant to some
thumbs up for using a word like "butt-snorkel"
You forgot dragonfly larva!
A giant horsefly larva can also wreck your day, from what In have seen.
7:23 underwater sociopaths 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks.
I love animals too much 💞💞💕💕
Butt snorkle. Real good then.
It's totally horrifying when you're a part of their meal.
Its favorite vacation spot is a well lit parking lot near you, or the bottom of your pool
I think most humans would be scared too if some random giant picked them up and examined them.
I stil envy the abilities of these animals they are born to be a swimmer, while me still can't hold a breathe for a couple mins😭😭🤣
I had these latch on me before when i was a child crayfishing scary thing !! But in most part of the world they eat these nasty bug
