 H-30b #9  This is a beautiful large Rare Water Scorpion Bug Large display showcased in a large white "floating" frame so you may check out both sides of the specimen unobstructed.  This will also keep you specimen clean and safe as it is captured between two clear sheets of Elastic film.  This guy is something to see!    This display is approx. 10 x 10 x 2" and has a white base.  This frame can be opened but I would advise against it as damage is usually caused to the specimen when it is opened.  No returns will be accepted once the frame has been opened. 


Species-Nepa Rubra (Cinerea)

Fun Facts:
The water scorpion is not a true scorpion, but is a large, aquatic insect that belongs to the order of insects known as the Hemiptera or 'bugs' . Its flattened body is greyish brown on the upper surface; the wings, which are held close to the body, and the abdomen below the wings are pink . All true bugs have sucking mouthparts, known as a rostrum or 'beak' . The water scorpion's first pair of legs are very powerful, and are used to seize prey, but the most notable feature is the remarkable 'tail', a thin projection from the rear of the bug which is used as a siphon, to take in air. Very young larvae seem to be 'tailless', as the tail grows at a different rate to the body
