The Damselfly nymphs tend to stay still for long periods (probably trying to spot us without being seen) and I often didn't used to see them but now my eye is trained. They also like to sit on the underside of Lily stems.

Pond watching is excellent for honing your skills in spotting movement - Comes in very useful sometimes

Its a bit hard for me under all that duckweed I cent see a thing, the poor frogs come up and have to wipe their eyes no wonder I can get so close they cant see..

...."Yikes!! Quick, jump!! Let's get outta here! There's a Kayleigh about!"

I've noticed that quite a few pond creatures seem to like hanging out in the Duckweed. I scoop out some every day, just to stop it taking over - Everything in moderation. Would you like another chocolate?

I am scared of hurting the watermeasures they look so delicate so dont want to scoop them up..
I had a spider in the middle of the pond eating a fly how would he have got to land if he didn't have the duckweed to walk on..
I will decline the choc but will have another glass of wine..

Some spiders can walk on water. I saw a big one dash across a friend's pond today.

Yes just like the watermeasures and pond skaters do.
