BUGS

Client had this paint on his pond. He used a paper towel on a rod to gather some. Once it started to warm up the paint started crawling and flying away. They were bugs about the size of fleas. I have never seen this before. He recently cut down some pine trees that had pine beetle damage. Also upon further review he noticed a few around the house not just on top of the ice on his north Georgia pond. Anyone have a clue. His up close shot was blurry. There is another picture after this one as well if that helps.

Hard to tell Greg, but they might be a type of Springtails.

Do they look like any of these up close? Scroll down and check out the snow fleas.

Greg,

We had the same on one of our client's ponds about 2-weeks ago. After the cold temps last week (1 degrees) they have vannished.
