Hi Everyone,
I came accross this little guy the other day. Didn't look like anything I have seen before. It has a drunken sailor quality.
Is that a tartigrade? I don't think so because I can't see the legs. Maybe they are tucked under? Maybe a flatworm?

Looks like a Bdelloid rotifer behaving typically although the rotatoria aren't obvious. The bright internal chewing jaws are called the mastax.

I got the blue background from Rheinberg illumination (blue center, transparent outer ring)
