I was cleaning my sponge filter and came across a few tiny, what I believe are insects; floating in the container I put the sponge into to travel to the sink.
I only noticed them once the water and debris in the container stopped moving and they still were.
I used macro to take the photo. It's not entirely clear, but clear enough to see the shape and colours. I saw on another forum that someone had, had these and no one knew what they were. He mentioned that the health of the turtle he was housing was still good, as are the health of my fish.
Has anyone seen these before or have any idea what they are.
I wonder if they are at all beneficial.
I live in southern Ontario and if they are some sort of insect common here, I'm not at all worried.
