Oh,you mean those kinds of water bugs...when I saw the thread title I thought you were referring to the cockroaches! I have kept various aqauatic insects back when I was a kid;striders,boatmen and whirlygigs but I have no interest in any of them now.
I kept the big bad ones Lethocerus americanus. They eat a lot of fish! Very cool bugs. I have also kept the smaller Belostoma but they ate each other.
I also recall wanting to keep a dragonfly larvae.I guess they kind of apply here.
I have kept those too. Very cool mouth appendages. I fed mine baby mosquitofish.
Yes,I wanted to see one in action as it captures a prey item.
When I was a kid we lived near a swamp and a small lake. We were constantly procuring specimens. Many of them fly however!
An underwater spider would be so awesome, I would set up a tank just for it without hesitation. Oh, wait..my wife hates spiders.
Maybe if I had something else in there to run interference for it, hmmm

U could make a tank specifically for your wife,then make your own tank somewhere else in the house out of the way, but before u do this I recommend taking your wife out for a romantic dinner and then some sort of activity she will enjoy.
