AIBU or has my daughter's expanding sea creature toy.......had babies?!?!?!!!!!

[Kkmuppet]

OK so I am honestly a little bit freaked out. My 5yo just came to me and said something was moving in the glass with her sea creatures. It's not something, it's several hundred somethings
They seem to sit on the bottom or top of the water unless the glass is moved then they swim. What the heck are they. And what on earth should I do with them?!?

@GrainneWail

I did. Gosh, I've made myself look really silly now.

It's OK, Pizza, we all make mistakes with Trigger warnings from time to time.

Thanks for that photo Dave, it made my day.

Pour oil on the water, it'll suffocate them

Definitely insect larvae. I usually put Milton tablets in my daughter’s paddling pool to keep these at bay. It means I don’t have to get rid of the water so quickly.

Shite. Better empty the kids pool.... In the morning... Cant be arsed now.

TRIGGER WARNING???!!!
For fuck sake snowflake,how do you even get through the day?
Get a life....

Who would have thought this thread would turn out so entertaining?

It's hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂.
Not the wiggly little fuckers, they've definitely got to be blow torched!! (Mozzies love my blood 😡😡😡😡)

I wasn't expecting spiders. I'm itchy now, for fucks sake.

Wait. How long does water have to sit before this can happen?

I often have flowers sitting in water for several days - could I be running a mosquito farm too?!

Trigger warnings are for things that actually distress people. Saying this needs a trigger warning is ridiculous and downplays actual trigger warnings and issues surrounding them

^I agree! I thought the "trigger warning" was a joke at first, but apparently not?!

How ridiculous!

Wait. How long does water have to sit before this can happen?

Less than a day in this weather.

@paradiselaundry

Please tell me you're joking? Have you given birth? Next you'll be asking for a trigger warning for that. Jesus.

Slightly worrying how out of touch people are with the natural world..

Fuckin fuck sake this thread has made me itchy now!
Also MN always on form for educating the masses, i never knew this is what moz larvae looked like
