Waterscorpion-should it be in saltwater?

Hello,

A Norman Bird Sanctuary Summer Camp counselor asked me what this animal was, found at "Crab Town" on Third Beach, Middletown. Wasn't sure, looked it up, and it turns out to be a waterscorpion (Ranatra sp.) Rare sight clearly, however the question is, should it have been in salt water? I think not.
