Field Notes

Description:

Brown and grey bodies. Very thin legs to walk on water.

Habitat:

Creek in the woods.

Notes:

I don't usually take pictures of bugs but these guys have always intrigued me so I decided since they were the only thing around the creek at the time I spent some time to try and get a good one.
