Giant Water Bug

Hi Aaron, I'll try to spot more of them and post more photos in due course of time. Thanks anyway for liking it.

Thanks tmv for making it favourite.

Yes, it was quite big but not appetizing!!!

I saw this giant insect my first night in the Tropics in Sri Lanka. I was shocked by its size. Did not know it was edible.

I spotted my hero nearby a river one morning, almost frozen while on a fishing trip. It was hardly moving, but was alive. Yes, now I remember such bugs moving in the water. Thank you Tiz.

According to wikipedia: "The taste of the flight muscles is often compared to sweet scallops or shrimp"... I have to say that I am curious :)
