Diving beetle larva from my pond0. I went and got them some mosquito larvae.
I actually have to grow mosquito larvae for testing and in some cases food. One way to do this is to take a bucket, add pond water, put a few kernels of dog food in it, and set it outside.
This works well because you can monitor it easily and dump it out if the larva turn into the rounded pupa form. It takes several weeks for them to do this when it’s cool so it is quite easy to do and all the mosquitoes that lay eggs in it do so for naught. So it actually removes mosquitoes from the environment.
