When they are disturbed, mosquito larvae dive for deeper water and move by flexing their bodies, a habit which has earned them the label wiggler. You can see both resting and wiggling larvae in the water - surrounded by the petals of crabapple flowers that have fallen in the pond. **It is very important to remove potential breeding sources - standing, stagnant water. After this fiming, the pond was emptied, cleaned and refilled with fresh water. Mosquito-eating fish were added to help reduce the possibility of this pond being a source for mosquito problems. **For more information on mosquitoes and their control, visit UNL Extension in Lancaster County at lancaster.unl.edu **In the US, you can contact your local extension office for assistance, find your office here lancaster.unl.edu
