What Lives in a Wetland at Night?

I recently got the backscatter Macromate mini macro lens for my GoPro Hero 13 and had to test it out for the first time. I went to the vernal pool during a rainstorm and went into the vernal pool and saw some really cool red spotted newts, red efts, macro invertebrates, and tadpoles! I learned a lot about shooting macro during this video and realize that I need to be way more steady while shooting these videos! I will look into getting a tripod for sure. Also, I used a GoPro housing while filming this and noticed that the audio did not do as good of a job picking up the underwater sounds. I am learning and that is what makes life so beautiful! I misidentified some of the invertebrates in this video. @BrianDunham-c8z graciously gave me the correct identifications. He said: "The insect at 1:03 is a fishfly larva. The insect at 1:22 is a predaceous diving beetle larva. The insect at 1:53 is a water boatman (which swims right side up). The insect at 4:14 is a backswimmer."
