Marine snail eggs under attack
This marine snail egg mass was compromised and attacked by very hungry ciliates. A brutal reminder of life and death existence in the microscopic world.

Yeah, I thought so too, especially when one of the ciliates has clearly eaten one of the eye spots. I wondered about sharing this, but in the end I decided that it can be very educational to understand how the micro world works in full.

Thanks. It's that 40X oil immersion objective.

You're doing great work, "Mac." Curious - is your "handle" a mashup of "macro" and "motion?" You're certainly managing to explore both. Thanks for sharing it.

Haha thanks. You're close. But the nic goes wayyyy back to my early days in interactive animation, before there we're even tools that allowed you to develop on any platform. I programmed interactive media on the Mac platform. Kept the name!
