The Giant Water Bug
A good many kinds of bugs live in the water, but perhaps the oddest of all is the giant water bug.
It is a giant!
Have you ever seen very large, flat brown bugs lying on the ground under the electric street lamps?
Those are the giant water bugs.
They fly in the night from pond to pond, and are attracted by bright lights.
They fly into the electric lights, and are killed in great numbers sometimes.
This is such a common habit with them that in some places they are called electric light bugs.
