Impressive catch. The only problem I can't tell what I'm seeing. Could you add a bit more description?

Sure. In the first shot you see an egg attached to a rotifer. The baby rotifer has begun breaking out of it's egg. Each successive shot shoes the baby rotifer breaking further out of it's egg., until at the end it has broken free and immediately begins feeding.
