Belostomatidae is a family of freshwater hemipteran insects known as giant water bugs or colloquially as toe-biters, Indian toe-biters, electric-light bugs (because they fly to lights in large numbers), alligator ticks, or alligator fleas (in Florida).

Greater siren out of water. Greater sirens are carnivorous and prey upon invertebrates (such as insects, crustaceans, gastropods, bivalves, spiders, molluscs, and crayfish) [11] and aquatic vertebrates (such as small fish) [11] with a possible preference for molluscs (such as snails and freshwater clams), [8] [12] although they have been observed to eat vegetation such as algae.
The lesser siren is known to emit a series of clicks when it approaches others of its species, or a short screeching sound if handled. Acoustic behavior serves a functional service in S. intermedia , especially since it is nocturnal and it burrows in sediments, swims and crawls through densely vegetated waters.
