I've only ever seen one and at that time never had a camera but yours are great.

Lovely images and creatures! I have been collecting samples for years and have never found one. Not even once. I need to figure out how to get hold of these beauties.

These are great and provide proof that one needn't spend $$$ to find and photograph microscopic beasties. 👍🏽

Great images Pasotteo and very well done.

I've ony managed to photograph one tardigrade thus far and my images were nowhere near as good as yours.

This popped up on YouTube today. The presenter overdoes the wisecracking for my taste but there are some wonderful images and some decent information in the video.
