I've gotten dragonfly nymphs from this pond before, I really would like to try to setup a long term project where I raise one to or near to adulthood. There will definitely be more experiments like this in the future, I didn't realize how much I would enjoy it!
I think they're dragonfly or damselfly larvae. Since I previously found dragonfly larvae here I presume that's a possibility. Since they're contained in the jars I might keep the dragonfly nymphs around if that's what they turn out to be, since they won't be able to snack on my baby danios from inside the ecospheres.
😃 you created your own version of a resurrection jar
Awesome experiment, a lot of them looked like dragonfly nymphs absolutely love the macro lens video capture.

Fascinating! Is one of the organisms a dragonfly larva?

Free fish food
The goal is to start some live food cultures from these jars if I can!
Sorry I’m not familiar with any of those creatures
