Totally understandable, given how awesome black cloaks are.

Bit blurry but either a type of rover beetle or a beetle larva.

It seemed like a larva, it was pretty translucent. The question is: what kind of beetle?

According to Google Lens it’s a Great Diving Beetle larva. Cannot verify.

EDIT - tried again, and this time it says it’s a Rove Beetle. So I wouldn’t put toouch faith in either result tbh.
