When I can't find the info I'm looking for on RC, I usually refer to WetWebMedia dot com for pest identification. HTH

Search images of copepods and amphipods? I'm guessing what you are seeing falls under one of those categories. Could be wrong...

its not copepods and amphipods ..i have some of those too ..these are white and look to have 10 legs and micro claws .. hard to see so maybe not claws they lay flat unlike the copepods and amphipods.
