My Science Project :-)
In the interest of finding out what, exactly, those little wiggly things are
in my pond I scooped out a couple and am leaving them in a container for a few days to see what develops. I know mosquitos don't take too long to 'grow up' so I'm keeping my eye on them. Got a bunch of interesting stuff out of my mini-pond, including dragon fly larvae (yay!), those mystery wiggly things, small beetle like things that look like grains of pepper cruising around, small flesh-colored things a little bigger than those grains of pepper (tons of the black ones, like 100's and 100's) and a lesser, but still a good amount, of the fleshy colored ones. Also a strange blood red worm about 3/4 of an inch long w/what looked like pincer things at one of it's ends (but they looked almost soft and useless). I put everything back except the mystery wiggly things and a few unfortunate pepper grains that are now part of my project. I think there are three or 4 wiggly things in my project container, and only 1 is behaving like a mosquito larvae by hanging near the surface. Anybody know what any of this stuff might be? Thank you LeeAnne It's amazing what a couple scoops of water may yield. PS - If I put mosquito fish (are those rosier reds or different?) will they eat the dragon fly larvae? I'd much rather have the DF's. -- ------ If you're an insomniac, agnostic, dyslexic do you lay awake at night wondering if there is a dog? ----- |
