Eponymy: Thomas Say (1787–1834) was a self-taught American naturalist whose primary interest was entomology. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Korte beschrijving
Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie
Adults usually occur over mud in swamps, vegetated sloughs, ponds, lakes, backwaters, and quiet pools of creeks and small to large rivers (Ref 5723, 10294). Nocturnal feeders. They feed on aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and occasional small fish including their own young (Ref. 10294). Eggs in nests are guarded by both parents (Ref. 205).
