A few more pictures of the inhabitants of the wetland microcosms. I have now seen two damselflies perched on the emergent vegetation of the microcosms. On Friday I caught two nymphs that had made their way into the sump filters (at first I thought they were minnows). I kept them in their own enclosure over the weekend, hoping to see them molt, but decided today to re-release them to the microcosm to feed and molt into adults. Note the gills at the end of their tails. Also here is a new shot of the biggest and baddest of our crayfish, now isolated in his own tank after tearing the claws off the smaller one. And finally a shot of one of the Sacramento perch who is also starting to get bigger.
