Re: I think I have found 5 distinct nematodes so far.
You may already know these but, I think this is a predatory nematode. That's a good guy.
Your number 4 guy is a bacteria feeder - good guy - see that black valve - they tend to move really fast.
Your number 5 looks like a root feeding nematode - not such a good guy. See the stylet used to puncture.
Hope it helps
