40X 50X and 100x. I have not encountered this long tailed Phacus before.
Fresh pond water not plentiful

I have not seen this one before either. I do get lot's of Phacus acuminatus here, but not the Phacus orbicularis.

Maybe it's mating season? :)

Sorry Mitch

I thought perhaps P elegans or P longicauda.... nothing as basic as you suggest!!

Always a fun subject to see, but not always easy to photograph (at least some species) without a few images (stacked). Nicely done here.
