    It looks like a backswimmer or water boatman. You can tell this from the bilateral appendages that sticks out. But, important to determine if this is a back wimmer or water boatman. Backswimmers are predatory and I believe can eat fish eggs, they can also bite humans. While water boatman are herbivores/detritivores so totally harmless to fish eggs/us. For me – it’s hard to differentiate using just this video.

    Have a look at this article, you would have the best shoot at figuring it out since you have the most clear view of it and it’s swimming behaviour: https://www.whatsthatbug.com/backswimmer-vs-water-boatman/
