I have 4 Cynops pyrrhogaster since July 2008.
Recently their habitat was unattended for some time.
When I finally got back and did maintenance I found the presence of tiny creatures in the water and on the rocks.
I'm sending the pictures of these... er... worms.
Would you be able to identify them?

Thank you very much in advance.
Alexis

Those are the pupae of Psychodinae midges (moth flies). I get those too during the summer.
 
Great info. I moved them to a recipient with a bit of water... waiting to see what happens :)

Gracias, Rodrigo.
