aquatic spider ID?

Post by mpan »

I collected some water from a nearby reservoir 2 days ago. Today I got around to checking it out and I noticed some long stringy, what I thought was algae or fungus, substance. I tried retrieving it from the jar but it's extremely hard to get. So, I went and scooped up some things that were swimming and I came across this guy. Unfortunately there was a larger one(probably about half a mm) but I squished it beneath a slip. Any Idea on what it could be?
