@karolina . Please help. Freshwater pond... This was moving and is very thick. Looks like a diatom, is very motile.
The sharp rise in temperature from the last few days seems to have prompted huge numbers of ants to have their nuptial flights. I was at Warm Springs BART station where I found three species of alates being drawn to the bright lights of the station
This is a Double Pond sample observed through a microscope at (40x). It's Pseudopodium or 'fake feet' wrap around the plant matter. The amoeba is the clear and speckled preparing to absorb the dark plant matter beneath it.
I saw a strange bug flying around when it landed on the parking lot my suspicions were confirmed. This queen alate landed and promptly snapped off her wings
