GREAT WATER-BUG.
These insects live in water during the day, and fly about in the evening.
The Frog-hoppers and their allies differ from the Bugs in the fore wings being uniform in texture throughout, and not membranous, with the tips transparent. Sometimes the fore wings are of a more or less horny texture, but they are frequently as transparent as the hind wings. All the species are plant-feeding insects.
