Both of these are "true bugs" and belong to the Hemiptera order. I know for sure that Belostomatidae (giant water bugs) do indeed exist here in Utah. I would also imagine that Nepidae (water scorpions) are also found here, due to their widespread distribution, but I have not collected any in Utah. Hope that helps.
