The axis spinning thing with the extinguisher could that be an elaborate mating ritual to attract a mate maybe?????

I do understand that you have insight in to the complexities of canal dipping, but my pictures are proof that the trolleys do prefer shallow water(post 214). As shallow water cannot be found in canal systems they have to inhabit flowing rivers, as they are vulnerable to predation they adopt camouflage as I have show.
As further proof I have uploaded a picture of a dead one, it as you can see, it could not manage to get into the water, it had started to camouflage itself but expired due to lack of shallow water.
I await proof from yourself to at least give substance to your hypothesis.
Case proved I think.
