It sorta looks like a glob of lumpy pudding from this far above.



But when you look closer you can see its just jam packed full of Trichoptera.



Thats not water either, its 80% ethyl alcohol.



Then I put them in a smaller dish and under the scope they go!



After identification, VIALS.



Good eatin'n. But this "bowl" has barely been dented after 9 hours work.

POND KITTENS!  :x


:lulz: :lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

I'm totally gonna start calling aquatic insects "pond kittens" now.  :lulz:

On another note, I just recently discovered that some people are allergic to caddisflies, the hair and cuticle of the adults I mean. Including the greatest caddisfly worker of the last century, Herbert H. Ross. It's apparently a real problem for some people who live near the great lakes, niagra falls, or work in hydroelectric plants.

They're beautiful.

Aren't they though? I used to only be interested in the larvae, but now I like the adults too.  :D

Every time you masturbate, Kai kills a pond kitten.
