This week, I noticed a new micro-organism that I haven't seen in my micro-observatory before. It was a long, caterpillar-looking organism. According to "Guide to Microlife" the organism is Annelida stylaria. Its body was covered with bristles and it was squirming around near various types of plant life. The body of Annelida stylaria was transparent and its organelles were visible; also, you could see parts of the plants that it was eating flow through its body. Its internal organs varied in color. Its body was divided into segments, having a long, trunk-like appendage called a proboscis on the end of its head. *I have attached pictures of some of the previous organisms observed in my micro-aquarium.
