Several of the minnows in my pond have disappeared. Ordinarily when fish are disappearing from my pond, it's because raccoons are getting them. But when raccoons do it, they leave everything in the pond upended. That wasn't the case here. Everything looked normal. Just, some fish were missing. As I was looking for them to see if they were hiding somewhere, i found an empty exoskeleton floating in the water. Then I found another. And I remembered that when I brought the aquatic plant home from the river, there was a small nymph of a dragonfly or damselfly clinging to it. I think that bug is in my pond and eating my fish and growing larger by the day!
