Yikes! Cool looking but I think I would walk the other way if I saw him.

These are the ones that we see on the pond every so often.

These guys float beautifully on top of the water. Great find and photo!

Great catch!

Great find, Christine. I am always amazed at the size of these. For an anachriphobe they could be a nightmare! Beautiful shot!

He looks dangerous. Good image though but somehow he looks like one to keep away from.
