Freshwater pond water sample shot on a AD246 S-M digital microscope. Magnification unknown.

Larvae look like midge flies (look at their lil legs)

What are the larger sort of flea looking things with the protruding antennae at the beginning of the video?

What is the thing scooting around at :07?

What are these filtering things at :35?

What's this moving sphere thing and the smaller more lively thing with the two "fangs" at :54?

Much appreciated.

Just threw together some stuff from a local pond. Lots of squigglies and things moving around in there, hopefully some of it stays alive for a bit.

Any tips appreciated. I used to keep freshwater aquariums, but I'm completely new to enclosed systems like this and fully expect everything in here to melt and die and algae to take over.

correction: 1/16 not 1/8 brain fart. Super light and you really gotta yeet it to go anywhere especially when it's windy.

Was just doing catch and release on a freshwater lake in Massachusetts, had no bites on a larger rooster tail and then no bites on a jig with some stinky berkley worm on it. Slapped this little shit on my ultralight and just started getting one panfish after another.

Very effective at least for this particular body of water. Single hook is also nice for getting the the lure out quickly, those trebles can be tricky.

>Police say they arrested two masked men who were dressed in all black and armed with handguns when they broke into a Saugus, Massachusetts home in broad daylight on Sunday. Saugus police say shots were fired during the home invasion, but no one was hurt.

>It happened around noon on Oakwood Ave.

>Neighbors called 911 to report the sound of gunshots.

>A short time later, Saugus police arrested Derek Matarazzo and Timothy Gregory, both of Boston. They are set to face several felony charges, including home invasion, police said.

>Saugus police said the incident appears to have been isolated and there is no longer a threat to the public. They say Matarazzo and Gregory were the only two suspects involved.

>Police did not reveal the potential motive for the home invasion.

>George Benn lives in the area and witnessed the events playing out.

>"I could see an armed gunman standing in the middle of the street there with a mask, all dressed in black, aiming a gun at the house over here," he said. "We have the front door open, which is all glass. My other daughter came downstairs and saw a gentleman holding a safe in my front yard. He hit the ground. She thought the gentleman in the street was shooting at him, but apparently he was shooting back at the house. I saw someone come out of the house shooting."

>Matarazzo and Gregory are set to be arraigned Monday in Lynn District Court.

>Saugus is located in Essex County on the North Shore of Massachusetts, about 12 miles north of Boston.

This was my little bright spot today, but after recent news, I'm a little heart broken. Didn't even eat a chicken fried steak or anything.

This will take a bit of time to process. We'll be better tomorrow...

The tulip market's gonna go nuts! Manic even.

Magnification unknown, Anonstar AD246S-M digital microscope with the highest magnification D lens.

Clump of snail eggs was gathered from a jar full of fresh water, sediment, some plant life and a bunch of critters from a pond in Massachusetts.

Brand new to all this, would love feedback or any tips. Don't have a "real" microscope yet and still learning.
