Devils Bugs From The Jungle

The one thing that most people think about in the jungle is giant bugs and to be honest there are some monster bugs out here. There are some cockroaches that are just incredible, 4 inches long and with an amazing transparent wing casings that extend over the entire body, never found a dead one to bring back to the office to photograph yet, some multicoloured things that look like crabs and some just bizarre things that have no description that comes to mind, the one I found yesterday is supposedly the tropical version of the water boatman. But it is far too bizarre to describe and I can only put a picture of it, plus I found the biggest fly ever and it was really heavy, it looked like it had been attacked by a bird as its eyes had been pecked, and I found out that the eyes are actually hollow, just a small outer shell like a motocycle helmet. Enjoy the spectacle of the monsters from the Amazon

giant water bug... water boatmen front legs are smaller and are vegetarians...the water bug uses those front legs to hold things as big as frogs and fish
