This looks like a under water stick insect( only joking) . Does it actually go under water or live along the edge. Fascinating species. Posted 11 months ago

  :D yes, it can also prey small insects on the water surface, like Gerridae or Velidae water bugs. Usually you can find them along the edge, although they are very small and not so easy to spot. Thanks for you appreciation, Ernst! Posted 11 months ago, modified 11 months ago

  Thanks so much, Lisa! I’m in love with my “new” Helios 44-2 55mm lens for macro ;) Cheers* Posted 11 months ago
