Last Observation

For the last observation, I saw more lacane rotifers on plant B. Also in plant B was a cyclops and many actinosphaerium: confirmed on pg. 169 (Patterson 1996.) There were many nematodes swimming, with their whip-like motion, within the soil layer and plant A: confirmed on pg. 226 (Pennak 1996.) They move by the friction off the vegetation around them. Most of its coloration comes from what it ingests. In order to grow, Nematodes shed their outermost cuticle from time to time much like snakes: confirmed on pg. 227 (Pennak 1996.)
