Our wildlife pond is now going from strength to strength, having been established for almost a year. We are lucky enough to have a wide variety of creatures, including snails, shrimps, larvae and of course our little fish (which has grown quite a bit). But recently I have been doing a bit of pond maintenance, which involved removing some of the weed, which has spread considerably over the last year. |
And so I set to work doing some research on the internet (As we do, nowadays...) Wasn't long before I came across some images that matched what I had in my bucket. And the mystery jelly blobs appear to be pond snail eggs. As we have a lot of snails in our pond, I have decided to remove some of the weed along with the attached snail egg capsules, which Im pretty sure will not cause any problems. |
