Never heard of these before, looks like it could disguise itself as a waterlily leaf if it wanted to. That's what I thought it was in the thumbnail.

Thanks, Maurice. They are quite flat, but the refraction of the water makes them look even flatter.

Thanks, Betty. It was an easy find. There are many of them living in my pond.

Cute little fellow with a funny expression. Of course, he's just busy, not trying to be funny!

Like a lot of us, he is just trying to keep his head above water. ;-) Actually, he keeps his head below water almost all the time.

I just read the Wikipedia article about them and added a link to this photo. Their range is from Ontario & Quebec all the way to northern México. So, probably they are somewhere in Michigan, too.
