I'm sorry, I really can't tell. The photo is too fuzzy. Do you think you can get a clearer photo?

on the 2nd link, specifically, theyre the ones on the bottom. creepy little buggers...but anyway, the donuts that you put in the pond to kill them off arent working, the fish arent eating them, any other ideas on how to get rid of them?

Ewwww, yucky little buggers. I have never seen mosquito larvae before. Do you have your pond circulating? I thought mosquitos didn't lay eggs in water that is moving. I've never had them in my pond.
If you are seeing something crawling in the bottom of your pond that looks like it is straight from a horror movie, it might be a dragonfly larvae. www.thomasames.com/insects/other/dragonym.jpg
We've had these in our pond and scared the daylights out of me at first.
