Unknown Crustacean

#1 Post by CyberHeart » Mon May 11, 2020 2:48 am

I have found quite a few of these organisms in my pond water samples. I'm inclined to think they are some sort of crustacean but I cannot find any images that match their appearance when I do a search.

Here is a video I took on one: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fRvS1Ayyy5GeXotTA

Any ideas on what it might be?

Definitely a rotifer. Possible Lecane sp.
