	Bug Problem...?
Sandy02 Enthusiast Posts: 174 Kudos: 123 Votes: 34 Registered: 11-Jan-2004	Now, being a Florida resident, I'm very familiar with most bugs, especially water-based bugs, but I find this very odd. I'm not exactly sure what it is, hopefully somebody can identify this for me...? It almost looks like an algae, but it's too regular, of the same size, and EVERYWHERE (rocks, liner, tubes, filter, pump) Pond in question (270 Gallon): http://kitty.imperialpraxium.org/IMG/pond.jpg Problem: http://kitty.imperialpraxium.org/IMG/bugs1.jpg http://kitty.imperialpraxium.org/IMG/bugs2.jpg http://kitty.imperialpraxium.org/IMG/bugs3.jpg Last edited by Sandy02 at 25-Sep-2005 08:34

Might also check your local library for the field guides for insects. I've got one at home but to try and pick it out without seeing it first hand would be tough to say the least . ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?
