They were in
a swampy area in a spruce forest, and there were real thick in this one pool(thousands).

OK, do you still have them? They can be raised in water with a tiiny amount of ground dog food or cat food. It woul dbe easier to ID from the adult.

Didn't keep them
I put them in a small container to photograph, then threw them back. I'll keep that in mind, and try to raise some next time.

Cool. They are actually kind of fun to watch. Just be sure you don't overfeed them.
