My favorite locations are sunny eutrophic ponds and there between algae and duck weed. Easy to concentrate from the water with the aid of planctonnet (a nylon coffeefilter is a simple but effective solution). Volvox is not seldom and can be found all over the world, mainly in spring.Mitch640 wrote:Very nice. I have yet to find one of these.
