Your letter to the bugman: Hello!
I was fishing in Wakomata Lake and retrieved a cast and found this bug attached to my lure!! I would love to know what it is! There’s been great debate amongst my family. I’ve been researching and the closest i found that it Might be is a hellgrammite??

Dragonfly Naiad
Dear Deanna,
It is easy to confuse aquatic larvae. This is not a Hellgrammite. It is a Dragonfly naiad, the immature predatory nymph of a Dragonfly. Perhaps it mistook your lure for a minnow.
