Velia caprai- a water cricket

Water Crickets live among vegetation or on the surface of still, or slow moving water.
They belong to the family ‘Veliidae’ of which there are 500 species!
I was lucky to get this shot because I only spotted it last minute and it didn’t hang around long enough for more than this one photo. I would have liked time to set the camera for more light but there’s always next time.
