Okay, so what is this thing??
 

Sorry for the poor pics. He was on the move and so was I. Just when
the camera would focus, it would go out of focus. I feel like I'm
trying to capture bigfoot! He's maybe 1/2 to 3/4" in length.

I mostly see him under water but caught him doing a land crossing. TIA

Dragon fly larva.

He sheds his skin as he grows.
The last time he'll crawl out of the pond,
on a plant stem if one is handy, and split
the back of his skin and out will come wings.
He'll hang out for a long time waiting for them
to dry and then fly away. You'll probably have
the next generation deposited as eggs in
the pond by fall.

Nobody said "Hellgramite" (which is a dragonfly larva). I haven't a clue
where that name came from, but it gives a much better connotation of just
what the larva is like than "dragonfly larva" :-)

It was happems when you pee in the pond and sperm mixes in with insects
it is called a Mckoi bug

And then you can mix him with chocalate pudding and serve it to your
neighbour. They would never know.
