Submitted for classification by @waltzing-with-my-inner-geek
Additional info: This is a dragonfly nymph. It has jaws that can shoot out to grab prey like the goddamn Xenomorph.

The other critters I saw at the Fall Festival! Not pictured: very quick predaceous diving beetles that didn't stay still long enough for me to get a good photo

It's sorta fucked up that dragonfly nymphs can just be Like That for years
#beastiebites#this post brought to you by my various jars of pond muck and the two dragonfly nymphs that scared the shit outta me#what do u Mean these fuckers could just be in this jar for several years#first time i saw one of em it activated Bug Fear levels i havent felt since high school#so in true beast fashion i did some research and looked into them more to desensitize myself#and while they still freak me out a bit#im gonna work my way around to liking em if only out of spite for the instilled fear of bugs society gives people

Do any of your ocs like leeches? Do they appreciate those tiny things?
i think all of them have love and respect for every little creature but they would probably prefer to appreciate leeches from a distance!! but i think solvei has the most love for funky little creatures!
#this reminds me of when i was a kid i used to play around in a weird creek we called 'the swamp'#it was full of leeches and dragonfly nymphs and water scorpions#i cant remember if my brothers and i ever got bitten by the leeches but they freaked me out hgkjhdsgjk#theyre really fascinating though i love them!#corps.oc#ask

I’m a little bit obsessed with damselfly nymphs which I. Didn’t take any pictures of on Friday but here’s some bugs from this Friday.
Dragonfly nymphs I caught infinitely while hunting for beetle larvae… why are they so cute. Their eyes are so. I love them when you catch them they just skitter into a position and freeze then start trying to hide again
Gerridae which I wanted because my last one is preserved Mid-Bite by a dytiscid larvae so this one’s nice for studying. I’m a big fan of how the local ones look fancy because they’re black and white like they’re in a suit
And then infinite belostomatids I couldn’t avoid catching who bit the shit out of me while I tried to release them
Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs thered bugs in the water and I love them
