I don't know what the big thing is, but the lump just looks like a snail.

 

[Satoneko]

A dragon fly larva.

It also doesn't need air because it just sits at the bottom of the water filled bucket and floats/crawls around.

 

[JLatte]

A dragon fly larva.

This is correct

Thanks for the answers......But should I pull that lump off its back with a needle nose pliers? eww

Back home, we would call that "bait". I think the lump is a hitchhiking snail.

Hammer it.

That's definitely a snail. It's hitched on that bug for a ride. It'll do that with any bug that is big enough to compensate for the the snails weight.

Now that you know what it is get it back to the pond!

Oh God, kill that thing before it develops language skills!

Im going to dump it in a waterless bucket to see how good its breathing skills are.

That's not even funny. Just put it back in the pond and stop being a child.

If you really want to see something wild, put some mosquito larvae in with it. Dragonfly nymphs are predators, and they'll take small invertebrates like other insect larvae (especially mosquito "wigglers"), or even small vertebrates like tadpoles. You might have to move the wigglers in front of the nymph, but if the nymph attacks, you're in for a shocker.

I threw it back where it came from.

We have a meadow full of dragonflies, whizzing and flying around, eating mosquitos. On behalf of those dragon flies.... Thank You.
