Beautiful bugs

It is amazing what you can find if you look carefully ...








And here is my new 'pet'. Thank you to Y and her daughter for giving it to me :) Can you guess what it is?

A spider?
A bee?



No.


Hint: It lives in water and it will fly when it turns into an adult.








Its the larva of a dragon fly!

By the way, today was the first time for me to hear a cicada in the daytime. The ones that go 'mi mi mi'. I heard the first evening cicadas a few weeks ago - the kind that go 'whee whee'!
