I think the things in the water were 'water bugs', IDK what they are called but when I was swamping in our lake and back eddys as a child I used to find large groups of them, about the size of an asian cockroach but silvery-blackish, they swim erratically like fast bumper cars and dive and come back up. Fascinating things. I don't think they bite, never bit me.Sallynoreply@blogger.com
