This seems to be a young larva of Limnephilus. Although not clear in the picture, several ventral abdominal segments have chloride epithelia.

That has got to be the most beautiful setting.
I could spend my remaining years on that stretch.
It has all of the qualities that I hold near and

of a lunker lurching in its depths. Only in my dreams.
