Erik,

How easy/possible is it to culture daphnia outside in cooler climates, (like
the northwest).  I was always under the impression that you could only
culture daphnia in the summer (i.e. the last weekend in August) here?!

I always thought bloodworms were midge fly larvae.  They show up in our
Daphnia/mosquito pond (i.e. kiddie pool) as well, hiding in the mulm that
accumulates on the bottom.  I don't think they are a mosquito larvae.
