Calling all pond-lovers, experts and enthusiasts! What are your favourite pond critters?

What I can expect to find in a pond-dipping activity in Scotland in May? Hope I don't look like a complete idiot at this workshop I'm running a kickstarter for 😅

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

My drawing below illustrates the importance of spatial ecology for stability: if we ignore space, it's like everyone dancing on the tip of a pin. When space is included (and complex dynamics, too), diversity is easily sustained.
