Black_Blade Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 My daughter had the grandkids down at Armstrong Beach on Trout Lake today and she noticed what she thought was a leaf floating in the water in the wake of a passing boat. As it got closer, she seen the legs move and took a picture for she had no idea what kind of bug it was. I had no idea either after looking at the pic. Just wondering if anyone else might have seen a critter like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryx Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Looks like a dragonfly larvae. Used to see them all the time growing up. Just like the pic, and as empty husks on the dock after they clImbed out of the water and 'hatched' Edited May 14, 2012 by Oryx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
