Observations week 3

 The following are abservations I made on October 26, 2010.
I saw a Midge, which is an insect larvae, crawling on the soil bed of my microaquarium. I have seen this organism before but thought it was a worm. It defenitely looked like a worm. It had a long body with ywo tiny arms near it's head.

I also noticed a Nymphilis, which is the juenille stage of a cyclops. This organism was stationary at first, but when i tried to take a photo of it; the organism moved away quickly.
