This isn't really an underwater picture, but a picture taken into my aquarium of midge larvae which lived in the silt I used for substrate.  Each larva has a little tower of detritus built up along the bottom, while the bare larva waves around from the top.  In this picture: True Fly Family Chironomidae (Midges). From Mystery Creek # 62 in New York.
See many more fly fishing, trout stream, and stream insect pictures on the Troutnut.com homepage and discussion forum.
