aquatic life

This past weekend I did my spring pond cleaning. As usual i found the few
dragonfly larva, a few snails. Found a colony of daphnia hanging out in a
pot, which got me to thinking. Has anyone seen planeria in their pond? I
know my pond probably has a few, i've looked for them, but never found any.

Not yet! But there is still hope!
I've come across blood'worms', leeches and
tubifex worms but no horsehair worms or
flatworms yet.
I figure the next plants I buy I'm going to really put them thru a
close inspection and see what critters show up. You all will be the
first to know!

Flatworms - those are planaria, right?

Yup ;-)

I'm told you can actually see their strange, little crossed eyes
when you get up close and personal.
