Water Scorpion - Ranatra fusca

I've always known them as "water skippers." I never knew they actually went underwater since I have always seen them skipping along the surface. I see them all the time in the creeks around here in central Washington. I can't believe someone would pay 12.99 for one of them.

I guess it would be interesting to observe them underwater. Like I said I've only seen them on the surface. I'm guessing you'll need a tight fitting lid because they would easily escape.

I might have to go catch some this summer and throw them in the tank and see what they do.
