Those are both winged insects that few into the pond; one a true bug - Hemiptera and the other a specie of aquatic beetle - Coleoptera. Midges as Nematocera are already flying in and laying eggs and soon Mayfies. The pond is already quickly developing a zooplankon community that are not readily apparent. Many are from the dormant resting stages in the soil and some blow in with the wind and some are transferrred by waterfowl. Many ways of nature that introduce microscopic organisms. There will also not doubt be some micros transferred into the pond with the fish water.
