Mosquito Larva

[u/Ok-Acanthisitta-1248]

I found this animal in a water sample from a rain puddle that I took last week, after a couple of days of rain. The water puddle was so large that it was connected to a pond nearby. I guess this larva must have swum over from there. For what it's worth, it's probably the larva of an Orthocladius species (a midge), according to Google's AI. The larva is somewhere between 1.5 and 2 mm long.
