water scorpion
A water scorpion is a type of aquatic insect belonging to the family Nepidae. They are named due to their scorpion-like appearance, caused by their long, slender tails that resemble a scorpion's stinger. They are, however, not related to true scorpions. Water scorpions have a unique breathing tube at their rear, are known to be excellent swimmers, and are carnivorous by nature, eating larvae, small fish, and other small aquatic creatures. They are typically found in freshwater habitats such as ponds and marshes.
