| Found By | Jackson Bland, Sydney Miller |
| Year Found | 2020 |
| Location Found | Tampa, FL USA |
| Finding Institution | University of South Florida |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |

| Discovery Notes | Tampa Palms 5, collected in compost area near hole #14 under foliage waste; collected at 82F. Soil wet after rain. |
| Naming Notes | The Hydrus constellation essentially means water snake, a type of snake that is nonvenomous to us and swallows its prey alive. Some species are more aggressive than others. We named it Hydrus due to the aquatic aspect, and there was lots of rain prior to the collection of the phage. |
