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. |
