Hello,

I shot some videos underwater last sunday to illustrate life in a puddle.

Here are some views catch from these videos.

The quality is very bad but I begin with this lens totally manual. I think I was out of focus ... :(

Anyway, I see two kinds of larva :

white one's on the bottom : are they dead ?
red bloody one's, very active ! Could it be Ceratopogonidae, as described in this page ?

I give you the link to this video in which can be seen ostracods ("white ghosts") : https://youtu.be/e9sSdPl0uFc

sorry for the bad quality again ...

Thanks in advance
