 Giant water bugs!!!

Back in 2004 when Florida was hit by all of those hurricanes;My yard was under about a foot of water for about 3 months.
There was tadpoles,crayfish,catfish,snails,and every water bug you could imagine,I lived in a pretty swampy area back then so all the animals just moved right in....
That’s when I caught a few of them.I put them in a ten g,and had them all for almost a year...Fed them crickets....
