IN Southern California, Pond skippers appeared in my pool about 10 months ago and I've become quite fond of them. They are interesting creatures with an obvious social structure. They don't harm anyone and seem to survive by eating floating debris. The only problem for me has been to convince swimmers to be careful and appreciative of these visitors. I wonder how they survive - not how to get rid of them. I keep chlorine levels rather low which may account for their survival.
