Hey Everyone!

I came back from a vacation to notice what looks like a bunch of dragonflys swimming around in one of my tisbe cultures. They swim around in pairs like mandarins with little 'wings' on their backs.

I'll try to get better pictures and videos when I'm home later. Any idea what these are?

Thank you!!

That's definitely it. Thank you!!!! Not sure how they got there, and I've never seen them past the nauplier stage, but that's it. Weird-looking things, no wonder their cousins were popular pets in the 80s.
