My Science Project :-)

Hi LeeAnne,

We could be sisters ;-)
I always have jars of critters in the house trying to figure out what they are.

The best way to view them is to pour some into a Wedgewood White china dish,
use a pen flashlight and a good magnifying glass.

The best book I have found for identifying odds and sods in your pond is a
little book titled POND LIFE by George K. Reid, Ph.D.
It is out of print but can be found for under $10 from Barnes and Noble lists
of used book dealers.

This is a good web page

I have seed shrimp swimming around in one of my fishless pondlets, they look
like manic sesame seeds on speed.

Let us know what you find out!
