Family JulidaeObserver
georgiatytlerDescription
I’m completely unsure on what this is. It was about 2cm and has a lot of little legs. Floating in standing water in a fountain fed by rain water. I’m not sure if it is meant to be in the water or not, I gave it a way to climb out in case it wasn’t but it didn’t seem to mind, it was definitely still alive.
