Giant Water Bug

Lethoceris grandis - Not a bug for the faint of heart, this guy uses his prodigious beak to pierce other insects or tadpoles (sometimes even small fish!) and then injects them with an enzyme that turns them into a milkshake, which he then enjoys. He can bite people, too, so be careful if you ever pick one up!
