Insects are coming!

Mosquito Pupa
I brought these creatures home one rainy day.  There was so much rain that the water was very cloudy.  I let it set over night so that I could photograph them.  They travel in a vertical fashion like a sea horse.  You can see that behavior in this video titled Mosquito Pupa.  I am using Freshwater Invertebrates by J. Reese Voshell, Jr. for this identification.  I checked Wikipedia and their description of the pupa was what appears to me to be the larva.  I don't think that I am an expert.  I am just trying to learn. I wonder if some of the creatures here are changing stages.  Hope you enjoy the video.
