Unidentified water bug
St-Damien de Brandon, fresh water lake, Canada, Quebec, Joliette area, fresh water lake County, Quebec, Canada
August 12, 2014
Size: 0,75 inch
Living under dead leafs on the bottom of the lake, 3 to 5 feet deep. Water temperature is around 60 to 70 degrees at this time of the year.

Moved itself with pain when left out of water. Survives at least 30 minutes on the ground but I did not took living measurement on open air.

The same type of bug is coming back every summer.
