EDIT: was "Daphnia"
Very few images of Daphnia here on PMG.net.
This female from a local pond, alive but constrained between slide and coverslip which did not stop its antennae and body appendages moving.

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.”

Thanks Graham.
I have not seen many Daphnia-look alikes in my samples; Cyclops are far more abundant.
