Yeah, he might not be too far off though. But the correct name is Lethocerus americanus, and they are the largest bug in Canada. Looks like the other half of his pincer got torn off. It's likely not a cicada because there are no wings, but rather an armor-like shell.

Nah man those are definitely wings. I could see it's body through them and all the veins and shit. That pincer is actually half of it's front leg. All the others were missing - hence my theory that a bird prolly got to it and ripped them all off. The thing didn't look like it was ready to be out of the ground yet.

Hmm, good call. Yeah, I can't really tell if there are wings in that picture, so both assumptions could potentially be valid. But I'm sticking with cicada, because we_R_DNA likes cocks.

Jesus god thank fuck that thing was half dead for real. I just googled water bug and this thing could have hurt me! Funnily enough, I was watching it throughout the day to see if a bird would pick it up (lol I put it out in full sun lololoool) and I turned my back for like a minute...when I turned back around the fucking thing had moved. That was when I flipped it over to see wtf and noticed most of it's legs were missing.
FUCKER.

Yeah man. Fuck. FUCK. The legs you see in the pic are all the legs it had. On the underside I could see the little joints or whatever the fuck moving where legs used to be.
