I was quite pleased that for once you can actually just see the gel tube this rotifer lives in.

Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.

I am completely unfamiliar with this beast except through pictures. The gel tube shows very well here -- thanks for mentioning it or I might not have even noticed it, or thought it was something unrelated to the rotifer!

Hi Graham... nice bunch of images you have recently posted.
This Colletheca really shows a variety of details that are sometimes tough to see in one image. Nice!
