Looks like some tyoe of mite.

You may be right. I always have a hard time distinguishing between the two. In my eyes the Mayfly is a bit more chunky, whereas the Damselfly is slimmer.(This is just what my brain tells my eyes and I could be absolutely wrong 😆)

DaveLatt

Looks like either a Damselfly Nymph or a Mayfly Nymph. Im leaning more towards Damselfly.

That's a Stenostomum. Here's a good ID source Microbe ID 🙂

DaveLatt

Oh ok lol.

Get some pond/lake/ocean water and start exploring the microcosmos! 😁

Over two years and still no lacrymaria. Stentors are harder to come by for me these days.

DaveLatt

Nice. Ive yet to find one. Keeping my fingers crossed.

DaveLatt

No benefit in 2000x. It's mostly a selling point vs something you'll use in reality. Binocular in my opinion. I have no experience with the one I'm the photo so Im not sure. Amscope and swift has good intro scopes.
