Plant identification?

[Fishobsessed7]

Yesterday I collected some plants from a pond but I have no idea what they are. They are from a pond in Oregon if that narrows it down a little. Neither species were floating. They had roots in the ground.



these one have a really good root system. I think that it is white water buttercup, but I'm not sure.

I'm seeing water buttercup( ranunculus aquatilis) and creeping jenny ( lysimachia nummularia)

It looks like a glass worm, just a gnat larva like bloodworms

So will it harm my fish?

Not at all, it probably wouldn't last more than a few seconds in the tank

I have the plants in a one gallon bowl, to make sure there is nothing bad, so if I add the worm, is there a possibility of introducing a disease?

It's not likely
