Collected 2 sites mud from quiet beaver pond,mud from shallow pond in bird sanctuary Kamloops BC Meiiji MX 40X PaxCam ARC Both specimens feature ingested diatoms,metabloly and 1 flagella ? possible Jenningsia
Hard to say... the creature with the long flagellum looks like a Peranema, or as you suggested Jenningsia. But I've never observed one with such an ambitious meal!
It took me awhile to figure out what my eyes were seeing. That is one ambitious Euglenoid. I was just reading about parnema today, and they made it very plain that these were not just passive animals, but were active predators. Now I believe it.
