Turtle poop (Mosquitoes?)

# data[].attributes.body
NM No mosquitoes in sight, paper was yellow. Multiple areas with specs of dirt or dust. I found this weird string looking thing

# data[].attributes.body
There was a lot of silt and sand in the water. When observing without a microscope, the water was murky and hard to see through. There was an organism swimming/moving in the water quickly.

(it's hard to see what the critter moving around is, but based on its movement patterns, it moves like a copepod. Check out the "Water Analysis Key" to see what these look like up close)

# data[].attributes.body
My water was untinted and did not have any mosquitoes. It did however have an ant and some organic material that I believe to be part of plants. (thank you for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
Just all organic stuff (What do you mean by "Organic stuff"? Use the Water Analysis Key to provide a more detailed description)

# data[].attributes.body
The things I see in my water sample are these type of branch things and like specs of dirt

# data[].attributes.body
my water sample was clear you were able to see the Aedes mosquito larvae with the naked eye (Mosquito larva! Thank you for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
Water was very murky in the cup got clearwe when taked out, some alge and silt

# data[].attributes.body
The water was brown, it contains brown fibers,and a small amount organic materials,but no mosquitoes were found.

# data[].attributes.body
The water sample did not contain mosquitos, however there was some organic material that I believe to be sand or soil and an ant. (Thank you for sharing!)

The water was tinted green, but clear. It has sand and unidentified inorganic material, algae and leaves, and bug wing. No movement and no mosquitoes were found. (thank you for posting!)

# data[].attributes.body
A moving organism and silt on top of the water which is most likely where it began to grow. (Looks like an ostracod)

Fiber? Clay? Worms? (Algae, fibers, perhaps some fungus. Assuming no mosquitoes. Please indicate NM or YM at top. Thanks)

# data[].attributes.body
Clay gravel grass (Thanks for reporting)

Protist

# data[].attributes.body
Larvae (Yes, looks like a potential mosquito larva. Zoom out to get its head and siphon)

# data[].attributes.body
literally just dirt LUL

(Dirt isn't a scientific word. Use the "Water Analysis Key" to the left to figure out what this "dirt" is made of. Please follow the posting instructions and report on mosquitoes as requested.)

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing just White

(You water didn't have anything? Not even a speck?)

# data[].attributes.body
I SAW WORM AND CREARURES GUYS

(Can you get a video and post it? Mosquitoes? Please follow the instructions for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
Looks like fibers

(I think these are the markings on the cup. But it looks like you have some silt, too zoomed out to tell. Please add NM or YM to report on mosquitoes)

# data[].attributes.body
a dark Murcky green with a spider like cricket shape brown floating dots around the cup

(Can you get a clear photo? Adjust the microscope to zoom in and focus. Any mosquitoes?)

# data[].attributes.body
The water is clear, has debris, and flakes. No mosquitoes found.

(Thank you for reporting! Be sure to tip our water weekly to avoid growing mosquitoes)

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe bacteria..? (Too large for bacteria, possibly fungal or plant material. Is it moving? And any mosquitoes? Please use NM or YM to report on mosquitoes.)

# data[].attributes.body
Like a line and a bunch of dirt (Dirt can be a lot of things! Maybe silt, sand, or organic debris? Look a the "Water Analysis Key" on the left to try and identify the "dirt")

# data[].attributes.body
It’s very dirty I think I have some poop particles and has some metal and plastic and sand and dirt and dead bugs

(Any photos of the dead bugs? Are they mosquitoes? This does look like you have a lot of organic debris. Certainly algae, possibly an aphid at 3:00 and small beetle at 12:00 positions. Use NM or YM to report on mosquitoes. See the instructions.)

# data[].attributes.body
Mine was mostly clear except for a few hairs (I see some algae in the water and yes, hairs. Thank you for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
A bit of purple and some specks (Interesting! Did you have anything purple on or near the sample cup? Please report on the presence or absence of mosquitoes using NM or YM in the title following the agent number. Thanks.)

# data[].attributes.body
it seems it has a mosquito larva that is constantly moving. (Culex larva. Agent #?)

# data[].attributes.body
It seems to be a mosquito larva that we have, and we got to get more mosquitos in are cup also! (Yes, looks like Culex species. We need your number to give you credit, however)

# data[].attributes.body
In our water we saw some silt hanging around. In this picture we saw silt around the edges. (Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
Video (Aedes larvae)

# data[].attributes.body
In this photo it looked like there was a larva in a egg. (Looks like plant material to me. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
We found no mosquito larvae and no other bugs/insects. We think that we saw some clay in the water. (Yes, and silt. Depends on the size of the particle. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
We did jot see any mosquitoes but we did find an ant. We think that the ant is a red ant based on what we saw. (Could be, most common ant in urban areas are Argentine, but a few red harvester and native fire ant colonies persist. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
We did not see any mosquitoes in our water. Neither did we see any bugs. NM (Looks like it has a lot of silt and some decomposing plant matter. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
In this picture there was dirt (See key to better describe what you are seeing)

# data[].attributes.body
YM Two Mosquito larvae bunched up tight and some strands of fiber and organic waste. (Nice shot. Looks like Aedes mosquitoes. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
For my picture from my pot in my yard we saw nothing but dirt. (Aak! There's that word again. This looks like a lot of sand and probably some plant material)

# data[].attributes.body
There is chemicals but we found no mosquito’s in there but the chemicals look like dirt. (Okay! Please see Key regarding the use of "dirt" and remember, virtually everything is a "chemical" including water. I see what may be decomposing plant material and/or algae).

# data[].attributes.body
There is no mosquito. It could be a microplastic. (Blurry, but I'm guessing its algae or decomposing plant material. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
Found nothing similar (Looks like algae and fibers. Please report on status of mosquitoes = NM or YM)

# data[].attributes.body
There is no mosquito, but it looks like a tick or a very small spider. (Great shot of an aquatic mite. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
YM

There is mosquito larvae in our water sample including organic matter from the larvae and plant parts (Looks like a Culex larva. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
There is no mosquito but it does look like the daphnia so it is NM (Hard to say, could also be an ostracod. See Key for video of how each moves in a different way. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
I see a lot of sand and plant material but no mosquito larvae. (Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
There is no mosquitos but it does look similar to a nematode. (Great close up! This looks like a midge larva. I see the head over on the far right and the segmented abdomen descending down with a dark gut. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
No mosquitoes found I saw sand and silt (I see a lot of plant material, too. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
My water sample was clear with a yellow tint to it. Inside the water there were 2 flat worms, slit, and as in the photo mosquito larval.

(Yes, mosquito larva! I can't see it's siphon, but my best guess is that it's an Aedes)

# data[].attributes.body
I see a dead bug and sand.

(Not a mosquito. Hard to tell based on this angle, but it's some sort of unidentifiable fly- likely a gnat)

# data[].attributes.body
I see a bug. (Looks like a little house fly - Genus Fannia, but there are a number of similar species. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
I think I see mosquito larvae. (Yes, it's a mosquito larva, likely an Aedes. Be sure to tip out stagnant water weekly to prevent mosquitoes from growing!)

# data[].attributes.body
Colored flakes (man made material)

Sand(inorganic material)

Plastic flakes (There is usually some organic material in the mix. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
YM- Had 7 larvae, isolated one, looks to have plant matter and sediment.

(Looks like an Aedes larva. You can tell it's an Aedes by the short, dark, and wide siphon at the end of its body. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
Found a brown dot, looks like silt.

(Likely a piece of plant material. Thank you for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
Four mosquito larvae. I think they are different types though. (I think you are right...the largest one looks like an Aedes and the others look like Culex. Double jeopardy for disease risk.)

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of organic material and a little orange thing that was moving a lot no mosquitoes

(Can you zoom more? Might be an aquatic mite. Check the Water Analysis Key to see if it looks like anything listed. Any mosquitoes?)

# data[].attributes.body
No mosquitoes but this really interesting bug with orange markings! Besides that, the water was clear with lots of other bugs, sprouts, leaves, feathers, and these pinecone-like objects that were much smaller. (This looks like some sort of soldier beetle)

# data[].attributes.body
I see plant parts, algae, and what looks like wood-chip fragments in my sample.

(Looks like some fungus as well. Thanks for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
I see a plant root of some sort. (Probably part of a leaf. Still no mosquitoes? I'm going to mark it NM, you can correct if that is incorrect. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
I see three mosquito larvae (Yes, plus some algae and plant material. Looks like they are Culex species)

# data[].attributes.body
The water looked clear from a macro scale perspective, but when you put it under the microscope, you could see specs of brown, it was hard to make out though.

(Look at the Water Analysis Key to try and figure out what the specks are under the microscope. Silt? Sand? Algae? Plant material? Something else?)

# data[].attributes.body
Looks like an axolotl with gills

(Ah, Axolotl's are very cute! But this is a Culex larva! Be sure to tip out stagnant water weekly to prevent mosquitoes from growing)

# data[].attributes.body
Algae, leaves, and soil

(And fungus (looks fuzzy and clear). No mosquitoes?)

# data[].attributes.body
Small brown flakes, pieces vary in size. The water is a tinted yellow color. (Looks like algae and fungus. Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
There appears to be no mosquitoes nor any other substances, man-made or organic.

(Thank you for reporting! Be sure to get rid of any stagnant water weekly to prevent mosquitoes from growing!)

# data[].attributes.body
No mosquito, just silt and other plant matter like pollen and flower parts. (Thank you for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
I see one live mosquito larvae.

(Yes, the wide, short siphon at the end of its body indicated this is a Aedes larva. Be sure to tip out stagnant water every week to prevent mosquitoes)

# data[].attributes.body
I see silt and maybe some Algae possibly some sand (Thanks for reporting)

# data[].attributes.body
I see a flower or seed like object (Flower stamen). Most likely plant material. That is mostly it besides algae. No mosquitoes were found. And no animal material was found. (Thanks for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the larvae under microscope. (Yes, Culex mosquito larvae. Thanks for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
We found a dead animal and think it’s a copepod. (Springtail, I think... Thanks for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of mosquito larvae.

(Cool sample! However, these look more like ostracods, not mosquito larvae. Larvae wiggle around, whipping their "tails" side to side.)

# data[].attributes.body
There is no mosquitos but it looks like a white planiernia. (Nice capture! Looks like a rat-tailed maggot - which turns into a bee-mimic called a hover fly - but the siphon has been cut off so the "tail" is missing. Thanks for sharing)

# data[].attributes.body
I saw some pieces of organic material and small groups of red eggs, possibly? (I see algae and fibers. The eggs may be pollen)

# data[].attributes.body
Right now all I see is silt and leaves in side of this.

(Yes, lots of organic and plant material. Thanks for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
A clear bug with legs (Do you have a zoomed in photo of it?)

# data[].attributes.body
It looks like theres some silt and I think the big thing in the middle is just a piece of plant but I don’t really know. 😼🫶

(Yes, plant debris and algae. Thank you for sharing!)

# data[].attributes.body
Bits of plants and leaves were found, there is something that looks like an ant or spider but nothing that seems like mosquitoes

(No evidence of mosquitoes here. I do see an incomplete insect, but it's hard to tell what it is, as it is also waterlogged.)
