Another Wriggly Thing

A number of weeks ago, I collected a few pond water samples that I have let fester in jars by a window in our rather warm upstairs.

And stuff keeps growing.

I blindly bought what turned out to be a fairly nice book on microorganisms which, I'm hoping, will eventually allow me to say, "look at this picture of {intelligent sounding name} instead of "weird swimming thing."

But for now, it is weird swimming thing. Actually, it got all hung up in a glob of goo and was fighting like mad to get free. In this shot, it just about cut loose.
