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

Bonjour
Yes It is a Lepadella sp.
It is not easy to determinate the name of the specie because you need a view of the front of the lorica to examine the shape of the aperture.
And it is often good to have a lateral view of this genus of rotifer .
best regards
Michel
