Thanks! Actually I had 2 in one drop of water. Pretty cool looking animals. I'm waiting for my copy of Das Leben im Wassertropfen so I can try to identify the little buggers for myself

Does one need to join something to view the photo ? The link does not take me to the photo.

Great bear encounter, thanks 'WhyMe'. Your video works for me, and a wonderful water bear resource 75RR gave us with his link! My recent bear encounters last week from frozen outdoor waters...same dark brown compacted mass in my bears gut...were your bears winter/outdoor collected, WhyMe? Charlie Guevara, fingerlakes/US

Re: My first water bear
Yes, they were taken in the winter from my favorite pond. But this pond wasn't iced over at the time, so getting a sample was easy. It's frozen solid now.charlie g wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:36 pmGreat bear encounter, thanks 'WhyMe'. Your video works for me, and a wonderful water bear resource 75RR gave us with his link!

Re: My first water bear
Only, only if you feel it safe to do...get down to your water site...crack the ice with a shovel, a hammer, your boot...and collect a few samples from under the ice. Marvelous winter aquatic microscopy is out there. Charlie guevara
