It is usually found in hot and tropical climates (rarely in Greece, until the last 2-3 years), while its length can reach up to 12 cm.
Unlike other insects in the Belostomatidae family, the female lays her eggs on the beach, near the sea, and generally on human structures, while the male protects them from other predators and occasionally wets them with seawater. The stone horn feeds on small shellfish, fish, and amphibians, while its venomous bite in humans can cause sharp pain, lasting several hours. Death can occur if the victim is allergic to its poison.
