What is this bug??
Hi,
A couple of days ago I spotted a bug in my pond that is about the size and shape of a fair sized dragonfly (minus the wings). Supposedly this is not a dragonfly nymph as I am told these look nothing like the adults. I first spotted it latched onto one of my goldfish. The fish did a few acrobatic jumps and shook it off. All fish are accounted for and seem fine. This bug has come up to the surface then gone down again a couple of times. I was told it could be a damselfly nymph, but the damselflies around here are much smaller than this critter. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick |

Sounds like a Dragonfly nympth to me. Do a google search for such and
compare to your critter. ~ jan On Mon, 5 Jul 2004 18:19:50 -0400, "Chrome!Hat" Rg @ storm one.dot ca wrote: Hi, A couple of days ago I spotted a bug in my pond that is about the size and shape of a fair sized dragonfly (minus the wings).
