Default Mosquito Larva?


Okay ~~~
Hanging out on plant stalks is a good clue. Look at their hind ends. Do they
have what looks like two to three feathery attachments?
If they do they are probably damselfly nymphs and you don't want anyone in
there to eat them, you want them to hatch into damselflies and chomp down on
any mosquitoes that dare to enter your yard.
And if they aren't damselflies they are some other kind of critter and most all
of them are benefical to one degree or another.
5,000 species of insects spend some or all of their lives in water.
