No problem!
Could you describe the habitat it was in? I’m planning on trying to find some here in IL.

wetland environment
highly abundant in a stagnant edge of a river that went through the woods. there were amphipods as well but were too quick for me to catch in a vial. also many aquatic beetles, springtails, and other critters.
