Description: These strange, funny, and harmless little creatures are water pennies - the aquatic larva of a land-dwelling beetle. They live on the undersides of rocks in flowing streams and feed by scraping algae and detritus from the rocks. They are highly sensitive to water pollution, so finding them is often an indicator of good water quality.
