Baby giant water bugs, like true bugs, have piercing-sucking mouthparts. Water bugs catch small fish, stab them with their beak-like mouthparts and squirt special juices into the fish. These juices change the fish's insides into a soft goo - perfect for 'babies' to slurp up.
First Peoples/Non Timber Forest Products
The First Peoples know a lot about our forests, because they have been living in them and using them for all kinds of things for a long time. Global Forest scientists are working with numerous First Peoples nations to record and study their indigenous plant knowledge and uses. A forest is full of many things other than trees that people can use, such as mushrooms, decorative plants and food plants. Non timber forest products - things other than trees - are being studied so that we can still make money and get good things from the forests without cutting them all down.
