Index of Subjects Interesting video Fred! I don't have a swimming pool but have on occasion found one of those mentioned creatures when a pail with water was left outdoors. There must be something that attracks them to water as if they couldn't get it in a more convenient way (in the Maritimes!) or would it be just curiosity of what might be in the pail (pool)?. Any idea how hard the chlorine would be on the animals?
