Okay, that thing doesn't look safe to be sitting on someone's hand!
I remember finding one of these; or mabye it was a water scorpian i forget, when i was playing in a pond as a kid. It just fasinated me, i would love to know how to go about getting one of the 8 inch nese from south america that the OP mentioned.
On animal planet last night I saw a show called Piranhas. It was mostly about Piranhas but it showed this bug I think. From the Amazon, 8" and it was called Giant water bug. In the show it caught a piranha. They also showed fish like, Pacu, Angel fish, keyhole cichlid, and some others.

This is the exact show I saw it on! hahaha, I am looking to find out how I can go about getting one.
ps the show was terrible.
I tried to keep a smaller (4") north american cousin of these guys in a five gal, I knew that they lived in water but I didn't know they can also FLY! I was on my comp at 2 in the morn and the thing landed on my foot, scared the crap out of me!! I found out later that they have an extremely painful bite too!
After I was bitten....i would no longer have a pet waterbug....just an empty 5g......
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OWNED.......
