Default Gnat Question


Predators!
I have a fishless pond full insect larvae and get lots of dragon and
damselflies hatching out of there.
(Mosquitoes are not invited and discouraged with mosquito dunks.)

One day I watched a fishing spider zoom around the pond snatching up gnats who
were bouncing along the surface. The spider would make short work of the gnat
and the wings would flutter down to the surface of the water. Amazing!
