I really like this view through the microscope of a water boatman's mouth and metallic-looking compound eyes (

The compound eyes of a male Isonychia bicolor mayfly spinner.

Compound eye: The eyes of many arthropods, including insects and crustaceans, are composed of anywhere from 12 to 1,000 facets called ommatidia. These are called compound eyes.).

All of your boatmen seem to be Sigara.
