Take a look at the video and try to decide for yourself what these bugs might be. If you know what they are then maybe you might be kind enough to leave a comment sharing their identity with the rest of us. Thanks.

they look like water boatmen/ pond skaters, but i can't see the legs?!
ReplyDeleteI think the bodies are the wrong shape for boatmen/pond-skaters...but having said that I have no idea what they are...just ideas on what they aren't . Sorry i can't be more helpful!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with bemused,water boatmen, lots of species.They can eat solid foods and are scavengers.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a clue but the video was hypnotizing, great patterns and movement.
ReplyDeleteA Rat TV Production. Nice, work. It would look good also as a screensaver... though I don't know how many people still use screensavers these days.
ReplyDeleteHey Ratty. I have a couple of Hedgehog videos (European wild hedgehogs). Don't know if you are interested for this site? if so you can check them out on youtube, my username is lucykemp21.
ReplyDeleteUse them if you'd like, if not no worries!
@Bemused
ReplyDeleteI will definitely use one of your hedgehog videos. I like them both. I'm not sure when I'll put it on here, but it will be soon. Your hedgehog videos are some of what this site is all about.
Hi, I live in Australia on the Clyde River (South Coast, NSW) and we have something very similar and I cannot discover what they are! I think ours may have a light grey streak either side of the body. They only live in very clean water, I understand, and our river is pristine. I think someone said they were bi-valves but is that possible?
