Diptera larva
Smallest Church Park, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA

Size: ~25 mm
I'm pretty sure this is a diptera larva of some sort. It was found under a rock hide in a riffle in the Turkey River.

Tabanidae
Thanks for giving me an ID on this aquatic insect larva, Martin! I am just starting to explore the aquatic habitats in my area and photograph the insects and other invertebrates there - so I have a lot to learn.

There is so much to learn, yo
There is so much to learn, you will never stop learning... That is the fascination and the cool thing - I learn something new every day ;-)

Nature is a great teacher
I agree, Martin. I never run out of subjects out in nature that I want to know more about.
