DSLR macro pond life

              It is surprising what you can find in the river, turn over a few stones and see what's about

                   Just a leaf but looks like something out of cocoon, hid under a stone in a river

                                                       Looks like some form of solider beetle

Using a small tank i transferred a few creatures to photography them before returning to the same place in the river.
