Predaceous Diving Beetle

Predaceous Diving Beetle, Immature
I saw this creature the other day while watching for salamander larvae.  At first glance, it looked like a little stick floating in water.  I later discovered its true identity.

As with many of the creatures of the vernal pool, the metamorphosis changes its appearance greatly.  Most interesting.
