Picasso is dead,
Mozart is dead,
Einstein is dead,
And I ain't feeling great.

That is a rotifer, weirld little "wheel animalcules". IMO they're neater than tardigrades, but don't have nearly the good PR as tardigrades do.
I don't know my rotifers very well, but I *think* that's a bdelloid rotifer

That is indeed a rotifer and a very healthy one at that. Good photo. Greg.
