Greetings to all.
I've been hunting with my net and I found these beautiful diatoms. Do you know who they are? I hope you like them.
Thank you

Perhaps a Licmophora species.
very nice photo!
Did this one come from the Mediterranean ("our") sea ? if so, here is a useful link:

I have often seen fairly similar triangular diatoms in the sea, attached to Ulva algae.
Upon cleaning with harsh chemicals, they were apparently destroyed.
Must have a second look at them.

Re: Diatom
Very kind of you for your answer and for the good information and support
I am located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, always surprised by new specimens in these waters.
The pictures have been improved a little bit, they are with a cell phone and an adapter made by me.
