Gear Guide Identification of bugs found in burn (river)

Identification of bugs found in burn (river)

I was looking about in my burn (river) and found these 4 bugs on some rocks/ stones. I have absolutely no idea what they are! Two look like caterpillars, one looks like a grub and the other one looks a bit odd. They are all from the water but never seen them before. Could anyone help to identify them?

Top two look like damselfly larvae. See if you can find a match on google. Third one looks like a caddisfly larvae maybe. Fourth one looks like a great diving beetle larvae.

Well done TJ. Not heard of stonefly! Top two are that, not my damselfly suggestion.
