Eating my hosta. All were captured well after dark using a uv365 light. 3 were on the stems on the leaf like maybe returning from the ground? Smaller ones appear darker. I will raise them to see was they become.

Netted while looking for Macroinvertebrates. Water level was up, if this matters. I took it to people very familiar with aquatic insects (MBI). They observed there were no internal structure visible. No mouth or Anus observed. No idea what it is except it has movement so not likely plant material. See it in motion on YouTube at

It is about 4 mm in length at rest. As a reference, the frame above and blow is 20 mm apart. The specimen pictured is in water. Many bumps on the body. The pic and video were shot on an iPhone 14 Pro with the subject in a dish of water held above the lens. The Macro lens was used. Until it dies, I will not preserve it.
Update-5-5-23 It was motionless this morning so I dropped it into 91% isopropyl alcohol to preserve it as best I can
