They are called backswimmers...we have them too and would love to know how to get rid of them. I did some reseach, they can fly and adapt to the clorine. I used a product called back up and it killed most of them for a day or two, but they seem to adapt to that as well. you can look them up at buginfo.com

: Go to google and search backswimmers. there are lots of sites to tell you what you've got:
: : could someone please tell me how to get rid of the bugs that bit in our pool. They swim upside down and they will bite.

: : I have the same problem. Its an aboveground pool and no trees above it - where are they coming from? They have no legs. Ive always called them swimmers, but is that the real name for them?
