Turbellaria

Post by NikonUser »

EDIT: was "ID request"
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?

Thanks Francisco.
When swimming it looked exactly like the one in your video.
