Water bugs mostly eat algae. Water bugs can actually swim upside down and also fly. If your pool has a bit algae on the bottom you might consider buying Water bugs to eat the algae and clean it. I have an in ground pool and all the time over the winter and fall the water bugs just come and stay and eat the algae.

And now just a friendly piece of advice: Be cautious to NOT hold them with bare hands. They will easily jump up fall and get injured or jump up and fly away. Also They have 2 pinchers in the front. I've went through that experience of getting pinched by a water bug and TRUST me its not a good feeling!

Giant water bugs (Lethocerus sp.) will eat smaller insects, tadpoles, and sometimes adult frogs and fish!

Obviously that question was not "What do giant waterbugs eat " It was what do water bugs eat ...So in that case waterbugs live in your pool , seas ,ocean and sometimes even puddles . Waterbugs can jump(hop)they can swim ,and they can fly Indeed they are very interesting bugs !Wherever they live they will eat algae escpecially in your pool !

They need water. If they reproduce they need more water. They like to latch on to little sticks. Beware they bite
