I found a couple teeny tiny, black, round water bugs today while changing the ducks' pond water. The pond water was pretty green and I was pretty freaked out by the weird insects. Do ducks eat these? Well.. Do they eat bigger ones? The ones I found must have been babies because they were no bigger than a pencil eraser. I don't even know where the heck they came from! I live in the desert! I remember seeing huge ones (like the size of my hand) in a neighbor's pool when I was younger, the kids there were so annoyed with me.. I just wanted to put the water bugs in a jar or a container to watch them and the kids wanted me to play with them, they were getting all mad, lol, anyways - Does anyone else get water bugs?
I'm also kind of interested in catching some.. How long could I leave the pond water in there until I find some bigger ones? As freaky as they are I'm quite intrigued
I'd release some big ones into my chicken's wading pool and let the chickens "fish" for water bugs.
