Hello fellow microlifers,

Can I get some help identifying this please

Sample from: Fresh water lake with algae in tropical climate. Sample has Rotifer, Anthropods, Paramecium, and this organism in video moves slowly.

Hello, Can I get some help identifying this organism I found in a lake, is it an Anthropod? It moves towards substrates and is living in lakewater algea. Sample from: Fresh water lake with algae in tropical climate. Movement: uses 'tentacles' or legs, looks like spider-like movement 40X https://imgu...

Thank you very much!

This looks like it.

Hello fellow microlifers, Can I get some help identifying this creature I found in a lake, is it a species of Rotifera? It moves fast and is living in a jar of bacteria(from decomposing organic matter) infested algea. The jar had Paramecium before but nowhere to be found now, maybe these ones fed on...

Some manner of oligochaete worm I would gather

Thanks This one really got me curious

Sample from: Bottom of pot where excess watering water gravitated towards for few months with few pieces of mud from pot. Dark yellow in tube.

Are these eggs? Still identifying out what other organisms were in sample

Thank you !

I'm new to microscopy and have been doing just that, looking at water in root water and found Colpoda in it but didn't know what it's called.
