A friend and her friend went to the region and there on some river there was such nonsense http://narod.ru/disk/23478270001/monstr.3gp.html It was filmed on a mobile phone (therefore, the 3gp format), and when I saw it, the question began to torment me-what is it? It has a lot of legs, it has a scorpion-like tail, and it's too big for an insect. On top of a certain chitinous cover. similar in shape to a ramp.
Locals said they appeared about three years ago, but they were very small, and now they are overweight.

Lepidurus, I assume L. batesoni. And where was he caught? Just this type for the south of Western Siberia is given. Although probably Triops granarius from Transbaikalia is more suitable.
