Hi Bugman,
I love your site! I took this photo last July 15 in southeast Michigan. I was trying to get a shot of those damselflies when I noticed that weird thing under the lily pad that appeared to be eating one of them. It was in a small man-made pond at a botanical garden. I’m not even sure where to look for it in your archives, so I’m going straight to you. Any idea what it is?

hi Martha,
Wow, what an awesome image of a Water Scorpion in the genus Ranatra eating a Damselfly while other Damselflies sit unaware. Interestingly, this is the third photo of a Water Scorpion submitted to our site today.
