This creature measures about 1mm in total length, that's less than 1/16". This one had a few eggs which I damaged setting up the shot.

I am assuming you shot this through a microscope. :thinking:

This looks like it could get intresting.

Great Shot! :thumbsup:

Yes Don, it was shot through a microscope. I find it very interesting myself. I hate I damaged the eggs
but the creature was none the worse for it and was released back into my microbe tank to continue it's
life cycle.
