Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | Hi Alvin, Welcome to the forum! The top critter is a scud of some type. The other one is a Chaoborus sp. larva of the family Chaoboridae. They are commonly called Glassworms in the larval stage and Phantom Midges as adults. These are aquatic critters of the Diptera order and great consumers of mosquito larvae. Did you find this in trout water? | |
