Topic: Strange thing in the pond

[Poppy Mole]

Noticed a strange thing in my pond this evening, it is about 2inches long, looks a bit like a lump of jelly, the tail(?) curled up & stuck out of the water, lots of legs in evidence when prodded with a piece of dried grass stalk. Not unlike a scorpion.
Does anyone know what it is please?

Thanks - ponds are  an alien universe to me.

That long - could be a drowned scorpion, we do get a tiny one in GB - gives a sting much like a bee

The jelly bit is throwing this off a bit but check out water scorpion and rat-tail maggot
