Hey all,

I managed to capture what was in the video! Checked my phone this morning and saw that my post had garnered a bit of attention. I went back to the spot and found this little guy still there. I managed to get it in a solo cup and took some video in 4K. Some of the white features of it are more pronounced when in the sunlight.

I checked the drainage pail that these streams have been running to and found about 6 others swimming around, so it may not be the exact one from before!

Hopefully this video can help determine what is it!

Very cool to see all the suggestions of what it is!

Hi all,

I spotted this while creating some drainage paths for a swampy area of my yard. I’m up in North Dakota, and I’ve seen my fair share of bugs but never anything like this.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what this is?
