I found some in a small farm pond here in the Southern Tier region of NY. According to Voshell's "A Guide to Common Freshwater In;vertebrates of North America" (A guidebook I recommend)the adults range from 5 to 20 mm. The ones I found maxed out at about 10 mm.
They crawl along the bottom and are very secretive.
