white blobs
I have a pond that is five years old which is fed by runoff roof water.
There appeared a couple of weeks ago several egg-sized white semi-opaque gelatinous "blobs" attached to the stems of underwater plants. I noticed the same thing last year and they did not appear to hurt the pond or the inhabitants therein ( goldfish, woodfrog and green frog tadpoles, newts, diving beetles etc.) My impression is that they are egg masses but I cannot see any individual eggs, they appear just to be uniformly milk white and rather firm to the touch. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Thanks so much, Ed Sturdivant |

Scroll down this page and see if the egg case
looks the one in your pond http://www.insectblog.com/archives/2...water_sca.html The other option, which I love to do..., is to cut the egg case off and bring it into the house and see what happens! kathy :-) |

I knew I was involved in this discussion years ago! See http://tinurl.com/4codq (or look for "rec.ponds body snatchers" in Google groups). I see that the comparison of the Blob to the Body snatchers seems to come up annually. -- derek |
