Hi,

here is a video of some Tardigrades living in between Sphagnum moss using darkfield illumination.

Nice!

What's that kinda 'netty' looking structure it's crawling around on is that the surface of some underwater plant? (That's asking for some close up shots if you ask me!)

Hi,

well there is mainly the leaf of sphagnum moss like a translucent net,
but also different green algae and some cysts (like down at 1:37).
I didn't do any close ups beside the video...
