mosquito fern
A mosquito fern is a type of small, free-floating, aquatic fern belonging to the genus Azolla, characterized by its capability to quickly cover the surface of a body of water, particularly sluggish or unflowing water. Often it is green but may turn red under bright sunlight and when nutrient levels are high. Its name derives from the belief that its dense mats obstruct mosquito larvae's access to the water's surface, inhibiting their development. It is often used as a biological fertilizer in rice fields due to its ability to fix nitrogen.
