Our pool has been remarkably clean and free from vermin this year, except for one huge bullfrog that I removed a couple of weeks ago and relocated to the local river. For some reason, we have had a string of ugly ane unwanted visitors in the pool the past couple of weeks. This may have been provoked by a long very hot and dry spell, followed by sudden rainfall. In any event, If anyone would care to help me identify these alien invaders, it would be greatly appreciated. The first is a small, skinny snake, less that one foot long: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/6/28/snake The second appears to be some sort of caterpillar, about and inch and a half long: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/6/28/mystery The third defies all description, but is less than an inch long: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/6/28/blob All were taken with my K-5 IIs, with the smc FA 100 mm Macro F2.8, hand held. Identifications as well as comments and criticisms are invited. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery <https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery>*
