This is a bit weird. What is it? It’s in the pool. We think it might be a “backswimmer”…

🤣🤣. It’s called a water boatman.. sign of a good ecosystem when they are in ponds

Think this one is swimming on its back though…

Water boatman, it needs a pond not chlorinated water of a pool. Save it Mike!!

Hope Jim Dale doesn't see this. He will somehow manage to link it to climate change and claim it to be proof of a pending climate disaster

Water boatman. We used to catch them when we were newting on Wimbledon Common when I was a child. We always put the newts and the boatmen back in the pond after we’d watched them in our jam jars for a while.

Water boatmen. You have organic matter in the pool which they’re feeding on; and if they’re’ feeding, they’re breeding. Heavy chlorine shock required, robot scrub the walls and leave pump on 24 hours.
