Abedus sp.
Aquatic bug with eggs. As GOODY pointed out, this is a "true bug" in the order hemiptera, NOT a beetle (order coleoptera).
Found in the riffle of a shallow, fast moving section of Delaware Creek, just below the low-water dam.
Collected in a kick-net in 8 - 12 inches of water
Lat: 34.41, Long: -96.54

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Good catch, Goody! This is embarrassing, considering my passion for coleoptera!
One suggestion on this listing: replace the word "beetle" with "true bug" in the description. :-)
WOW - great photos, they actually made my skin crawl (and that isn't easy to do, since I love bugs!)...Wonderful information -
this is so amazing looking bug - thanks for sharing
Great photo! And great information Goody!
Goody - Thank you SO much for the information! I wondered why the difference in appearance in the eggs. I thought maybe a batch of fertile and a batch of infertile. Didn't think about them being in various stages. I appreciate your input!
