MicroAquarium

Today, November 5, 2010 I discovered a new organism. It was fairly large and moved very quickly. Dr. McFarland identified it as a Midge, a part of the Chironomidae family. The midge is a developing insect larvae. I also saw many small Diatoms, brown cells with symmetrical sillica shells, the ones I discovered were identified as Pinnularia.
