Oh sorry for that, is always a lottery to make a decision when something vivid is infront of you, anyway I haven't ever seen any, here where I live there is almost no water and this water-animals in general are the rarest thing! ;)

The adult was there too, but it escaped my daughters... They wanted to catch it for a closer look instead of photographing it... Bad decision :(
