This reminds me of one of my childhood's favorite activities in Vietnam: catching water bugs late afternoons. I think they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethocerus_indicus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethocerus_indicus, but I might be wrong. That was in the 80s where Vietnam was very underdeveloped. There weren't many street lights and they were usually dim. Our house was right next to a newly built road (which eventually became a highway). That was one of the only few roads with bright street lights. The brightness of the newly installed street lights didn't attract just us kids, but also these water bugs from the rice field on the other side of the road. Once day we were told that these insects are actually edible! I and a few kids on the same block started capturing those insects, put them in jars, and brought them back home :)
