Aquatic insects

And what should their discarded cover look like?

There is enough food. I feed mosquitoes to my heart's content. And the ampullaries then eat up the remains of mosquitoes.

well, like the larva itself, but without the entrails - it's a complete skin. But for small ones, it is very small, respectively...

This is understandable, I mean the color. Well, maybe it is translucent or exactly the same color as the water meter itself... I just think that maybe the" drowned " ones are actually skins...

yes, the skin is translucent and very small in younger ages. and empty inside.

So a few of them sank after all...
But one of the water meters is already about 7 mm! Growing fast.

do aquatic insects have well-developed gill respiration?

April 1 seems to have already passed...

Gill respiration is developed, for example, in larvae: dragonflies, mayflies, freckles, caddis flies, some diptera (chironomids, chaoborids) and others.

And who kept the water meter in the aquarium-a thread?
I wonder if they will escape from the aquarium through the gap between the aquarium and the cover glass... And what is the best way to feed them? And how do they eat-suck the insect out or gnaw it? smile.gifs And can they eat small snails near the surface of the water?
I kept a water scorpion out of the water and fed it raw meat. Of course, I also kept dragonfly larvae in my childhood ( how can I not catch such a cool animal! smile.gif ),
but for some reason they died when I got out of the water...

"I did. For some reason, after a couple of weeks, they lost the ability to secrete wax grease on their paws and began to sink. I had to release it.
