So we cleaned our little pond out today as we needed to redo the layout of everything to make it easier to maintain. While doing that, we came across a strange water bug and wondered if anyone knows what it is. It is about 2 inches long and looks almost like a grasshopper or cricket but its covered in white fuzz (almost like little feathers). Creepy looking thing. I know we had found dragonfly larva in the ponds before so maybe it is that in another stage but it is less long and more oval and squatted. Anyone have a clue???

P.S. Also discovered that all 3 turtles decided to pile into the 300 gallon pond rather than the 1,000 gallon one. Anyone one else have turtles in their pond?
