I've been finding some very large amoebae in my water sample. It's fun speeding up their movement. This playback is at 7x speed. Shot with 40X oil immersion, phase contrast.

Re: Very large amoeba
The water sample was from a hotel courtyard pond in Hua Hin, Thailand. This week I've seen a number of them this size. The sample is more than 3 weeks old. I've been keeping it under a plant light for 16 hours a day and topping off with bottled water as necessary.
