Included the ciliate (possibly Stylonychia sp.) collision at the beginning because it showed several views of the Arcella, the sides and the back, that should allow for a better chance at a species ID.
This time the Amoeba was home, unfortunately it did not do much more than peek out.

Re: Arcella sp.
Thanks gekko.
I suspect I was in for a long wait as it seemed to be getting nice and comfortable, ... then the ciliate showed up.
I think you could say that the ciliate not only showcased the Arcella but rescued me as well. :)
Indeed, the Arcella had flipped onto its side and then just stayed like that.... and very helpful ciliate.
