Toe Biter

The Toe biter, also known as the giant water bug, gets it's name because both nymphs and adults are known to stab or grab a person's bare foot. One of two types of the Giant Water Bug, the eastern toe biter is found east of the Mississippi in North America. This bug injects an anesthetic saliva that makes the body part become slightly numb. The same saliva is injected into prey before sucking out the body fluids of the victim.

The toe biter gets it's name from the occasional attack on the toes of unsuspecting humans in lakes and ponds.
