[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this waterbug (which I do not no the identity) disregarded the warnings about to much sun. Instead of a nice tan --- well you can see what happened. This rock was surrounded by water, so this needn't have been its demise it would seem.

All is not lost Bob.
If you look carefully you will see a split along the back.This is a nymph that has climbed up out of the water so that the adult fly can emerge.
I'm not sure what exactly,but it could be a stonefly.
Damselflies and Mayflies also have similar nymphs.
The adult would have emerged through the split in the back,dried off its wings and flown off.
So you see,there is a happy ending after all.
Taken from a little further back,you may have got a clearer shot,and would not have cut bits off.A slightly lower exposure value could have been an advantage.
Its still a better shot than any I've taken of these.
