I've only seen some type of mobile green stuff, probably euglena and a few
very tiny daphnia and some very tiny cyclops in my black rain barrels. The green
stuff is at the size limit for my baby brine shrimp net to collect (some go
through some don't) and I've been catching them and feeding them to my fish. So
far only a few daphnia magna that stay around all year in very small numbers
in my rain barrels as well. No mosquito larvae yet but I don't get many of
them due to the breeding population of ghost shrimp that live in most of my
barrels.
