Dero sp.

#1 Post by geos » Sun Jan 06, 2019 1:01 pm

Found this specimen in a sample of pond water I have brewing at home. A worm with a "hand". After some research it appears to be a species of Dero from the family Naididae, the hand being the worms gills. Camera at prime focus using 4x and 10x objectives.

Great catch and video. Had not seen this very interesting worm before.
Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
