Yes, a beautiful image.
Mitch: remember there are also freshwater species. They are quite common in my lake samples. At first glance they look like a plant seed, even perhaps a large testate amoeba.

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.”
