Look what I found today! Am presuming the ones with legs are just a stage further on than the other 2!  DP   (http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/bermujan/Image012.jpg)

Shudder, but yes the legged ones are about to change into adults, already pregnant and ready to lay the eggs for another generation of horrors.

Swines aren't they!  Hate 'em I do!!  My sister wondered why her strawbs in a strawb tower hadn't started to grow yet when mine are in flower.  When I shook out the pot, she was amazed at the number of vine weevils in various stages of growth fell out!  I have been plagued by them all of my gardening life!!  :'(

p.s.  Bloody good photo by the way
p.p.s. Lucky fish!  Blinding idea, will remember when we get fishes in our pond!
