user posted imagePlavunets (Rhantus suturellus). In the Volga Delta, after the spring flood, a lot of small reservoirs remain, some of which dry up by the end of summer, and the swimmers willingly settle them. It is a predator that hunts other invertebrate inhabitants of the reservoir, they are mainly insects, mainly mosquito larvae, including malarial ones. Plavunets is a great flyer. After the reservoir dries up, it is not difficult for him to move to the neighboring one. It flies into the light at night. The picture was taken in the Astrakhan region.
