Here are the last ones I looked at from the ephemeral creek.

A pretzel nematode!

Mesmerizing! At least to me. LOL.

Speedy water mite! Yes, there are water mites. They eat similar things as their terrestrial cousins.

Side view! Most water mites are predators that eat zooplankton or other invertebrate larvae. Some are parasitic, while others eat plants or detritus.

Top view! Nymphs have only six legs. Adults have eight legs. The most I could count on this little one was seven. I supposed it had a narrow escape?

And here they are together!

What a fun time at the puddle and so many life forms!

Last night I looked outside and saw the Milkway! How to See the Milky Way This Weekend unless it’s raining. 🤞🏼
