Check out some raw footage of amazing underwater life in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area's ephemeral pools. All this hatched on bare, scorched rock after a storm. The creatures had only two weeks to grow up, breed, lay their eggs and die. These creatures are appearing posthumously, as most are already in bug Valhalla (see end of video.)

Corrections: the dragonfly nymph is actually a diving beetle nymph, and the "worms" are fly larvae.
