Bug in swimming pool - Deloyala guttata
Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
June 22, 2006
I was sent this image by a guy called Steven from Knoxville, TN. He found the bug taking a dip in his swimming pool and e-mailed me to ask for help with ID. However, being from the UK, I couldn't really help him - hence this posting.
