Whare these these?

I just noticed these growing by the millions in my little back yard pond. There are some regular mosquito larvae, but what are the small white things?

Thanks

Edit: sorry, I was talking on the phone and typing. Title should obviously be "What are these things?"

Looks like Daphnia. I take it you do not have fish.

Not yet, planning on just putting a couple goldfish in the pond soon since it is rather small.

Thought so. If you had fish, you would not see any Daphnia. They are like Prime Rib to Goldfish and Koi.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure they were nothing weird/parasitic before putting some fish in there.
