Thank you John and Tony :)
I always want to be certain that you understand that i appreciate you very much.
I am thankful for the internet and wonderful network communities like diptera.info.

I have not seen a water flea before (that i know of). I think that is most likely what is in the water. Very interesting. I made a video but i don't think that i can attach videos here. The fleas were moving very quickly. I had to back away from a tree full of hornets because they were no longer tolerating my presence. Thus, i noticed the mud puddle in my retreat.

I've never seen mosquito larvae outside of scientific photos, so i am not able to determine what is in the photo. I appreciate the knowledge. I'll make a better effort to learn more about them.

I have identified several species of entognatha but i do not know if they are aquatic. I usually find them on trees and in grass. Sometimes on tree roots and stumps. On the other hand, i also find them on my balcony and on flower pots on the balcony.

I am happy to a better understanding of this photo.
I will try to upload a video to a host somewhere, then link to it if anyone is interested in viewing it.
