Rhantus sp.
see references
This one was found struggling to clamber over a fern leaf at night and looked very uncomfortable and clumsy. These are normally found in water such as the nearby swamp
all except the last two images are pushed exposure to clarify details. New identification (Rhantus sp.) Thanks to MichaelGeiser http://molevol.cmima.csic.es/ribera/pdfs... (further references)
I had a real bad bout of nostalgia as well. clean creeks and water-striders and whirley gigs and all the rest
Thanks MIcheal, Looked up some references and that seems a very good ID
