This little guy is from a lake. Normally about 3-4x as long as seen here and equivalently narrower. Moves very fast.
Here somewhat squashed under a cover glass, but very much alive.
Width here about 0.4 mm.
Is that an egg?

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
