A swimming bugin my swimming pool

July 7, 2006 3:15pm CST
I found an insect swimming in my pool, has 2 long back legs like a leaping frog and four small front legs has hard wings like the june bugg but they are clear/see through and swims fast. It's head is shapped like a bee's head and it's eyes are also like a bee's eyes. It has a stinger on the front on the mounth. It does not like being outside of the water. What is it?

sounds like the "Water Boatman Bug". The "Stinger" is the mouth. It is a true bug (stink bug, bed bug, box edlder bug) and feeds with a piercing mouth rather than an insect (roach, ladybug, other beetles) that have chewing mouth parts Lar
