Pond bugs!
A few months ago I made a tiny pond in my garden. This week there are bugs in it!
If anybody knows what these are or what it means that they have moved in, I'd appreciate it!

I just ordered your Pond Life bowl and I am literally so excited about that I showed a lady at the grocery store. She was also very excited about it for me. :D
This is the cutest message and I LOVE it 🥰 I’m glad the lady at the grocery store was excited for you. I’m excited for you too! this piece took a lot of reference hunting and a ton of sketches before carving and I’m really proud of it. I’ll be packing it up tomorrow ❤️

Great Pond Snail (Lymnaea stagnalis)
Family: Pond Snail Family (Lymnaeidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Although they spend their entire lives in water (specifically shallow stagnant or slow-moving freshwater environments with plentiful algae and aquatic plants,) Great Pond Snails are descended from terrestrial ancestors and lack gills, meaning they must periodically climb or float to the water's surface and fill their single lung with fresh air through a tube-like respiratory orifice that extends from under their shell. Widely distributed across northern Asia, Europe and North America, members of this species feed primarily on aquatic plants and algae (although they may also consume detritus, fish droppings and small live animals if given the chance) and require water with little pollution in order to survive, with their presence being viewed as an indicator of low levels of chemical pollutants. Although Great Pond Snails mainly travel by slowly crawling through areas with abundant plant coverage (with their slow movements, the vegetation around them and the algae that often accumulates on their shells making them difficult for predators such as Tenches to spot) they are also able to reach greater speeds and travel over larger areas through a bizarre form of swimming; by secreting a buoyant layer of mucus from the underside of their foot they are able to float to the surface and remain suspended upside-down on a sort of "mucus boat", which they then "paddle" through the beating of a series of tiny hair-like structures (cilia) that line their foot. Like most gastropods Great Pond Snails are hermaphrodites but are unable to fertilize their own eggs; shortly after mating an individual will lay a large cluster of soft, gelatinous eggs which stick to vegetation and hatch after around 10 days, with the young hatchlings reaching full maturity at only around 2 months old. Wild Great Pond Snails rarely live for more than a year, although in captivity (where members of this species are sometimes kept to help keep fish tanks clean) individuals have been reported to live for up to 4 years.

The man on the radio says he went out last night to The Gaiety, and on a school night too. As ever, I'm distracted so don't catch exactly what it was he went to see. 'The Very Thought of You' with Ella Fitzgerald follows as he continues to extol the acting virtues of Dan Butler.
Weather today is mild with a heavy hint of chicken manure. Still preferable to the chemical 'fresh air' that the shiny metropolis denizens seem to have a penchant for.
The larger size moths have hatched indoors again, so I'm vying with them for the light of the screen.
The water butt dwellers are also busy increasing their numbers whilst diving away from the twig missiles that the Rooks keep dropping mid flight. The guttering is beginning to look like a strange kind of legless porcupine with the amount of nest material that's landed in it.
Obviously time to put in my bid for The Umbrella (Ireland only has one) ... all sorts of things to dodge now the breeding season is well underway. If you don't hear from me for a while, I either got buried beneath the latest nesting material deluge or I'm now part of someone's nest ;-) ...
