Water scorpion (Ranatra sp. )

Sandy, Diane and I watched this odd looking insect balancing on this bit of plant stem in the pond. He is "wearing" a hat of duckweed so we can't see his head, unfortunately.

Haha, lovely hat indeed.
I didn't know these guys ever left the water, I've only ever seen them swimming.
