 Posts: 2611 | I've seen a lot of large red water mites in [REDACTED] Pond while snorkeling there. They must not taste good to fish, probably one reason for the red color, as they are both very obvious and swim freely thorugh the water. I did see a water scorpion (Ranatra sp.) sucking on one of them in there, though... Jonathon | |
| No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||
