Amoeba of fresh water that in its floating form presents thin seudopodos finished in a very mobile end.
Probably a specie of the genus Vanella
Some 50um of diameter
Phase contrast and oblique light

It is probably a Flabellula species, but very remarkable because of its very long and very thin pseudopodia. It could be a new species. Flabellula is closely related to Vannella.
