== == * I think what you are seeing is what we here call "boatmen." Once in a while, I find one or two in my pool, and I scoop them up and kill them. And they also bite and are tricky swimmers. I've noticed that if I'm low on my chlorine, they're around. In which case, I add more immediately. They actually live around ponds, etc., but I have a large body of water in the back yard. == == * These are water boatmen; they do bite, and yes, they can fly. Adding a non-foaming algaecide to your pool will get rid of them. They create an air bubble around themselves to breathe under water; the algaecide takes the oxygen out of the water (which is how it kills off algae) so that they cannot create the air bubble. If they can't breathe under water, they will leave! == == * If they bite they are most likely back swimmers, which look like boatmen but swim on their back. Bug out will kill them, unless you have a pebble-tec pool, I can't find anything that works.

How do you want to get rid of them? If your pond has fish that you enjoy, or if garden birds and other animals are in the area, I advise you are better to keep the cranes there. Otherwise, don't taint the water by trying to kill the birds with poison and the such.

What process occurs when you place a fresh water fish in salt water?
Besides interfering with oxygen transfer on its' gills the salt water will cause the cells of the fish to retain fluid making the pressure within the cells greater than the pressure outside the cells. Ideally the water a fish swims in will keep its' body in homeostasis where the pressure both inside and outside the cells of the body is equal.
