Mystery Critters
These insects are so puzzling I can't tell what orders they are members of. Identification help is welcome!

| Larva in a large puddle in Durham, NC, 6/3/06. These animals seem to bury their heads in the mud while sticking their tails up to the water's surface. | Larva, found on land (probably not alive), same place and time. Most likely some kind of diving beetle, although the legs are not apparent. | Larva, Durham, NC, 9/8/06 | This tiny animal crawled out from under some Durham leaf litter on 11/11/05. |
 |
| Probably a scorpion fly (Brachypanorpa carolinensis), Craggy Gardens, Macon County, NC, 7/8/05. But not a high enough quality to put it on a subject page. |
