The stream behind the lake house has proven to be a source of innumerable beautiful micro friends. I believe that this protozoan is a Paramecium caudatum. That is based on me seeing one macronucleus. Tentative! Observe as the green organism is engulfed through the oral grove and the "mouth" and how rapidly it is incorporated into a food vacule. Zico. December 2020. N Fork, CA. Zeiss AxioScope A1. 400X. (Ignore the annoying pink artifact in the center of the field. I'm working on that. I think that I have it figured out.)
