I haven't a clue on this one, but I did find a list of water insects.

I had thought it looked like a member of the Family Nepidae, but there is only one with a chance and that is a Renatra linearis, not at all like this. I wonder if it's an escapee, or another insect that is here but not recorded as here as I seem to have many of those.

I didn't actually see the insect, but it turned up at the edge of a pic I took of a water skater nymph.
