How does fresh water pond life travel from one body of water to another?

814 views

I have a bucket with water in my garden growing pond weed for my fish tank. There are no ponds in any of the gardens on my street, and the nearest body of water is a river, 400m away through multiple streets, yet there are now molluscs and aquatic insects swimming around the bucket that weren’t there to start. How did these creatures get there?

The insects are usually the larval stage where insects like leaving their eggs in water. Mosquitoes do this.

Some animals travel and find these hospitable areas and make them there home. If it is big enough you may also get some frogs
