I took a look at my jars with a flashlight after dark last night and they were both absolutely teeming with snails, copepods, and nematodes! Could anybody ID the beetle pupa looking thingy? I saw at least 3, and I love the way they wriggle in the water.

Very nice! I think you hit the nail in the head with the beetle. Take a look at a close up of a diving beetle larvae:

I’m a bit hesitant tho cuz it also looks like a dragonfly nymph.
