G'day Gregory, pleased to make your acquaintance... I won't shake your hand tho

So... what kind of fish's worst nightmare are you?

 

[vampstorso]

water scorpian

that's probably one of the most freaky looking things I've seen...yet as i said, the eyes make it look so nice!

 

[GeckoJosh]

Gregory is a 8cm Water scorpian/bug

 

[Chris1]

oh my, thats a crazy looking thing!!
i would have guessed moth,....looks nothing like my mental image of a scorpian!

 

[killimike]

'Water scorpion' sounds a whole lot cooler than 'water bug'!

Thanks for introducing him, I'll have to go read up on them.

haha hi Gregory,
and sorry to intrude on a lovely post, but I couldnt help but get out that Greg is in fact a Lecotherus sp. in the family Belostomatidae (sometimes called fishkiller bugs, Hemiptera: Nepomorpha); whereas water scorpions are in the family Nepidae (also Hemiptera: Nepomorpha)

Nice one Josh,....is it a new feed source for something else?? lol

[chickensnake]

Hey Geckoman I think i had one of those things on my back verandah during this wet season! is that possible? do they go out of water? In any case it was a creepy creation!

P.s I like that big fat rat
