MicroAquarium

 Today, October 22, 2010 Dr. McFarland helped me discover and identify more organisms in my MicroAquarium. The first thing I observed was a small round organism with short tentacles excreting something out of its body. It was later identified as an ostrocoda. The next thing I saw was a juvenile coleps. It was sometimes hard to get a good look at it because it jumped around a lot. I will keep tabs on this organism in particular to see how it grows and matures over the next few weeks. I also saw a dead body of a more mature coleps. I then came across a free living flatworm that look liked it was a part of dance dance revolution. It wiggled and jolted its body back and forth in an odd manner. Dr. Mcfarland identified it as a turbellaria. The last thing I observed was a Tachysoma. I thought it was dead because it was being very still but I must have been wrong because when went back to find it it was in an entirely different spot than it was before.
