Sometimes I think of the way humans treat their spaces and I just kinda cry a little.

Today I tore apart an abandoned above ground pool that my family left to its own devices two summers in a row.

There are 2 trees (out of 3) still standing, but where a thriving pond ecosystem developed there is now nothing but wet clay and a few weeds.

I think having a real pond would be great, but ya know, nature didnt know that the pool wasnt a "real" pond. Nature said "hey a big puddle of two foot deep water!"

We relocated all the tadpoles and frogs, and I saved as many of the snails as I could, but countless wasps, spiders, and other insects are now dead or homeless and as a nature lover that kinda hurts my soul.

So I sit here waiting for the hot water heater to refill and warm, suddenly very aware of how nature takes what she is given and humans have such an odd view of what is and isnt nature.

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF AQUATIC INSECTS IN POND ECOSYSTEM IN CHEYYAR, THIRUVANNAMALAI DISTRICT OF TAMIL NADU, INDIA | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY

In freshwater bodies such as lakes, wetlands, rivers, streams, reservoirs, and so on, aquatic insects are the most abundant group of species. A pond ecosystem is a body of standing water that serves as a critical habitat for a wide range of species, including fish, crustaceans, insects, and amphibians. Aquatic insects are excellent bioindicators of water quality for assessing contamination in both short and long-term events. Less or more aquatic insects provide data that can be used to measure the extent of environmental damage and its possible effects on other living species. From August 2017 to January 2018, this study shows the diversity and distribution of aquatic insects from the pond ecosystem in Kilpudupakkam, Cheyyar, Thiruvannamalai District. Scoop nets and hand nets were used to capture the aquatic insects. They were later identified with the help of original literature. Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Odonata, Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera are the seven orders of insects known. When compared to other orders and diversity indices, the order Hemiptera (33.63 percent) has the highest population of pond ecosystems. Coleoptera (27.21 percent), Odonata (14.98), Ephemeroptera (8.56 percent), Trichoptera (7.64 percent), Diptera (5.50 percent), and Lepidoptera (5.50 percent) were the orders following Hemiptera (2.44 percent ).
