Hi there!
The pool was out of commission most of the summer which allowed quite literally a breeding ground for all sorts of creatures in the area. I saved a few tadpoles and about 15 dragonfly nymphs from the pool as the pool guy came to clean it ttoday.
I have found plenty of info on raising the tadpoles, but am left with a few questions about the possibility of raising these nymphs.
They already have some small wings developing on them. I know online it says they can stay in nymph form for years, but I think these ones look like they are getting big fast.
I see that they eat tadpoles, but I obviously don't want to feed them that. Does anyone know if they eat land insects? Like, can I dangle meal worms in the water for them to eat? My biggest concern is if I can feed them. I also don't know how much water I need to raise that many, or how big of a tank to put them in. I have them all in a big tupperware container right now but I know that can't last long.
They're all about an inch long each.
I took some pictures I will upload them later. Pretty cool looking little guys.
