The mosquito bits seem to sink after a day here. I occasionally see a few small mosquito larvae between applications, but of course I don't let them mature before adding more bits... and I don't see them in pots with tadpoles. Possibly the tadpoles eat the mosquito eggs and not the larvae, although I've learned not to keep big tadpoles together with little ones when we've taken some inside to raise.

I have seen dragonfly nymphs a couple of times in my lotus pots -- very cool! Great photos of your buddy, Carol.

Hoping to attract my own Mosquito Patrol, I just ordered a bat house (from an Amazon store, but the same kind that the Bat Conservancy has on their site). It's well made and sturdy, and it has mesh inside instead of just grooved wood, so baby bats can get around easily.
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
