The one I photographed was really small, meaning the snail population has been breeding recently. I found about 8 snails over 3 days of looking.]]> 2021-04-27 04:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462634616 mcoy2 https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462637266 These were the only insects I found at Seager Park. They're difficult to see because they cover themselves in debris for protection. They were abundant in areas with flowing water.]]> 2021-04-27 04:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462637266 mcoy2 https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462652409 2021-04-27 04:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462652409 mcoy2 https://padlet.com/mcoy2/6otjg5xxinqp7jht/wish/1462663481 Dragonfly nymphs are an indicator of decent water quality, as they're more sensitive than isopods and leeches.

7.6 or slightly higher pH, and 0 nitrites.
