Great head-on POV showing their characteristic behavior Monica.
They need large volumes of water in the summer, especially when nest building..
Like the green/brown diagonal algae split, nice placement in your frame
Happy New Year

Looks like an armored desert vehicle to me: a formidable looking bug, Monica. Nice, realistic, composition too.
P.S.: Happy New Year!
