I have a new pond - built this year - that is doing very well. This forum has been a great help in discovering what exactly is going on when I see something happening, and up to now has covered it all so thanks to all who helped without knowing.
This morning when I went out to feed the gang I found some weird "gunk" for lack of a better description on top of one of the water lettuce. I would have dismissed it as just one of those plant things you find now and then if I had not found it on a few more plants. It looks kind of like a slug actually (it isn't I checked that) but it has what looks like seeds inside. Maybe just some seed pods from something nearby? We do have a lot of border plants that could have dropped something I guess.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this before? Everything is A-OK in the pond so I am not too concerned, but it is starting to cool off here in CO so I want to be sure since we are going into a new phase of the cycle for the pond.
