Strange Creatures II
Hi all,
I've got tiny creatures on our waterfall. They're less than 1/4" in size. Here's a pictu http://home.attbi.com/~pdewolf/Photos/creatures.jpg. I wouldn't think that they're mosquito larvae because they seem to crawl around on the rocks, rather than be suspended in the water (if they were, the waterfall would take them down into the pond). I know the picture doesn't have enough detail, but even guesses would be greatly appreciated! Paul |

Black flies? I had about 14.79 million of them on the outflow stream of my
rec pond. Needless to say they are now bird food. =) "Paul DeWolf" wrote in message news:JyIKa.27041$3d.15600@sccrnsc02... Hi all, I've got tiny creatures on our waterfall.

If they were in my pond...
I'd gather some up and keep them in a jar with new infusions of pond water until they hatched... bwa-ha-ha! ;-) Looks like black fly larva to me also. k30a |
