What sort of camera are you using? Look for a logo of a flower - this is the Macro, or close-up, button. It should focus a lot closer.
As far as the insect goes, I thought maybe Great diving beetle?
EDIT: OK, I've just read the description - mosquitoe larvae?

Definately, a good pic. The last time I tried photographing something under the water surface - well, it wasn't as clear as yours!
Forget the GDB suggestion - I would say a nymph - mosquitoe maybe?
How many are there, and what size?

I havn't had an SLR camera very long.
Its a Nikon D40 with a 55-300mm Sigma lens attached which i can only use on Macro with that camera so it means a lot of jiggery pokery but i'm pleased with some of the results i've been getting and still need to read the manual properly
There are quite a few of these in the pond
They have like a jelly like oval outer casing and the green yellow worm like creature in the middle wriggles around alot as if to help it move through the water must be about a cemtimetre long perhaps? |
