i had a dream i’d found a Ceratium dinoflagellate in a pond and i was SO shocked in the dream because at the time i didn’t realize they lived in freshwater too! after i woke up i’d looked it up and realized they do in fact live in fresh and saltwater. but still…prophecy fulfilled

This gelatinous strand was found attached to the underside of a floating raft. Strand was about 20 cm long, and forms a loop when removed from raft. Each green dot is about 1 mm. Under a microscope, this "algae" has eyes. So some kind of insect eggs? Best guess is chironomids based on a web page I saw.

Big five foot, presumably female, Rat emerged two days ago onto the carport. She was very calm when I moved her. Went under the house eventually. Blue Jays found her today in my Buckeye. She worked her way up into a hickory.

Back when https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55767879 emerged from the gall this was in, I cracked it in half to see what the chamber looked like
Turns out the larvae of this was still in there so I closed the gall up as well as I could and let it be.
I think it either caused damage or let it emerge too soon, because the legs do not work properly....

Very large amoeba with a hearty appetite; having ingested 2, large pennate diatoms (both Pinnularia?). Smaller diatoms and crystals are also visible in the streaming cytoplasm. Go here for 2 short videos at 100x and 400x: https://youtu.be/k1TUZVLZvEM and https://youtu.be/SZ-1WE9Dnpw.
- A pond-side water sample was taken on 12/27/2021 using a 10µ dip net. About 1/4" of ice had to be broken and pushed aside to access the water. Air temp. 36°F.

This species is a "gulper" of filamentous blue-green algae, and this individual seems to have had the protist equivalent of Thanksgiving dinner.
Here is an article which describes the implausible P. dubious eating process:
http://www.protistology.jp/journal/jjp35/11-Hausmann.pdf
According to the article, the giant strand of alga will be broken down within an hour. Unfortunately, I didn't follow the process that long.

Whirling colony of rotifers connected by the feet. About 2-3mm. Every now and then, they would all retract in unison.
Description of Sinantherina semibullata is that it has two dark warts behind the corona. Viewed under transmitted light these are not dark but simply denser tissue.
