Pond marsh

1) CA newt: in the aquatic and breeding stages of their lives they like to live in freshwater ponds and lay their gelatinous egg sacs there where they can attach to pond plant roots or rocks
2) sierran tree frog: these frogs also like to lay their eggs in pond environments where the water is relatively still, also they can change color to match the land or water environment they are in!
3) horsehair worm: these worms swim in the water and also the early stages of this worm are parasitic on insects which can easily be found in pond environments
4) water spider: I don't know i'm not sure actually what kind of spider this is so I don't know how to research it but I know that they live near water and can walk on the surface of the water somehow!
5) gastropoda (snail): these guys have hard shells to protect their soft bodies
