This water beetle was quite active moving from underwater onto fringed lily plants and then climbing up plant stems to be completely clear before flying off to a different part of the pond.
The water boatman below was also in a restless move and climbed the reedmace. I have no idea what the motivation was to leave the water.
The boatman below was rescued from my wheel barrow as I was clearing out the excess leaves from the pond.
