Mosquito larvae stay at the surface of the water to breath. When disturbed
they
wriggle away, very jerky movements.
Dragonfly nymphs have thick bodies and long legs. Damselfly nymphs have
thin
bodies and three feather like gills on their hind ends.

Both dragon and damselfly nymphs breath underwater and will not hang out
at the
surface to breath like mosquito larvae.

Thank you! Ok, then these must be skeeters. They do just as you
described... hang out kind of dangling from the surface and when disturbed
they flick away. Maybe I should add another dunk?
