The Bdelloid rotifers are quite ubiquitous now with several showing up in each sample. The fact that
many of them are quite small shows that they are reproducing. This suggests that the "eggs" I found were
in fact bdelloid eggs.
Another organism has appeared, which is almost rectangular and swims rapidly when
not attached to something. It retracts into a bell shape after consuming something. Despite waht the picture to the right says,
this is not actually a rotifer, but rather a single
celled oganism known as a bell animacule.
