There's been no posts on the insect forum for 5 days, so just for fun here's a pic of a waterscorpion, this one's a Renatra sp. from around here in central VA. Personally, I think "watermantid" would be a better name for this animal, but whattya gonna do?
We also have a Nepa sp. here that's more broad and somewhat more scorpion like.
The long "tail" is a breathing tube. They don't have a stinger, but they can bite if handled carelessly.
