Hello,

sorry, I forgot to mention my location. That would be Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany :).
Ok, I already thought it might be difficult to breed it to it's final stage :|. On the other hand: I'm positive it grew to this size from a stage, where I didn't really notice it. I collected only a handful of rotten plant material from the pond, some water and four Corixa sp. - when I put it in the box, I didn't notice anything else than a few Ephemeroptera-larvae and the even smaller daphnia. So I will just wait and see, what happens and tell you the bitter or lucky ending.

With kind regards, Kathrin
