But as mosquito egg eaters, they're pretty apex to me.

Chironomids look like mosquitoes, but generally smaller.
They can swarm in such numbers as to make you sad!

They live in the mud at the bottom, so a few sucker fish
will take care of that, should you be subjected to the
scourge of hyperchironamidism.

I've never had a problem with midichlorians in me pond.

I once had an in-ground swimming pool.
I used it seldom, & hated maintaining it.
And so it became a frog pond.

The goldfish made it thru the winter (-20F at one point), & are now fat & frisky.
The Duckworths have arrived (a pair of ducks who visit each spring).
And my various water plants are beginning to emerge.
The frogs are in nearby wetlands singing away, & should arrive soon.

Exodus 9:1

Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.


Pharaoh Revoltingest,

Let my people go!

Pharaoh Revoltingest,

They already come & go of their own accord.
I even have statues in honor of them.

I don't know how.
It's something I should learn.
But no pix until pond is in full bloom anyway.

@Revoltingest, How's Autumn at the frog pond?

@Revoltingest, How's Autumn at the frog pond?

It is fine as frog's hair!
The frogs have recovered from the faux pas of a wedding
guest falling in among them. Things are in bloom.
But the heron is continually hunting me goldfish.
Thanx for asking!

Oh, I did some masonry repairs around it.
And I'll do some more.

It's a pretty healthy pond already.
But snapping turtles would be cool.
Any turtles would.

The snapping turtles will bite the feet off the ducks.

I didn't know that happens.
But we have no such danger in me little pond.

We had thousands of snapping turtles in a pond in Myrtle Beach. and dozens of crippled ducks.

That's painful.
Did you send them here?...

Alligators will eat the turtles

We didn't have any alligators in the Myrtle Beach pond.

I actually have this statue...although mine has tastefully faded paint.

But I really want this one...

 

[Revoltingest]

Based upon @sooda's advice, no snappers in me pond.


Btw, have you ever eaten duck or chicken feet?
I tried'm. No need to try again.
