<< Anyhow, I saw some red 'bugs' in
the water with the 'normal' green daphnia These little red critters were
about 3/16" long, had antanae that were as long as their bodies, had a
little
rudder about midway down their carapace, had a shrimp-like abdomen/tail fan,
but looked as though they motored around with those antanae. >>
Around here a very large, red copepod shows up about the same time as fairy
shrimp in temporary pools. I'd guess this is the same thing. Sorry, I don't
recall the name.
