Cyclops

Be aware he wants to steal the krabby patty!

This is such a clear picture - love these little creatures -keep them coming Elton! Thanks

it was fun, I worked for the aquatic botany dept.

This reminds me of a job I had one summer in college. Some days we would spend in a boat, collecting water, mud, plant, and animal samples. Then there were the hours I had to spend staring through a microscope counting organisms in pond water samples.

Wow!

Awesome little copepod! We found some absolutely stunning ones in the North Sea, really big too, you didn't need a microscope to see them. They're such neat little things, love it :) I'm interested - do you work with aquatic microorganisms for research or a job?

What a cool little creature.
