I have a few of these pond bugs that have really grown in the last couple of months. They were tiny at first but now some are over an inch long. They can move super fast and have caught my attention. I have no idea what they are.

The dragonfly put a lot of eggs on the lily leaves earlier in the season.

I have a bunch that I usually only see at night with a flashlight. They range up to 1 inch long.

I was just outside and found this big boy hiding under the cover of the inlet bay.
