A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

inspected some more deceased Daphnia underneath the microscope today, and saw this little hungry bastard - around 10-20 μm in length and actively eating the carcass and little tidbits around it. I'm thinking it's some kind of rotifer? but its sooo small. baby rotifer? I could watch these little things for hours. Look at his little "tails"!

EDIT: someone pointed out that I accidentally called this little guy unicellular! I was writing a lab report about unicellular organisms while making this post - I meant to say if not a rotifer maybe a unicellular eukaryote. Maybe don’t do three to four things at once and write a tumblr post at the same time

today's invertebrate.........rotaria macrura

this tiny faced slop eater just learned about printers, and is now printing lots and lots of pictures of his friends and family and anything he likes on the internet!

he doesn't have that much storage space so he'll have to store them in unsafe places like his boss's house and his organs. not like that's going to stop him any time soon though
