Lethocerus americanus
It looks partly like one of those Palmetto bugs (roaches), but it is about two inches long and has those weird attachments on its head. Please help me identify!
Sarasota, FL near a strip mall in the parking lot. Only near a few palm trees.
This is a Giant-Water Bug (Lethocerus sp.) Here in FL likely to be either Lethocerus griseus - Eastern Toe-Biter or Lethocerus uhleri - Uhler's Water Bug. see here:
