Big Two Days of Microscopy

Over the last two days I have been doing a lot of microscopy, and I have found taxa like Colurella, Entamoeba coli, Paramecium caudatum, Ostracoda, Amoeba, Ciliophora, Frontonia leucas, Hypotrichia and several wormlike creatures. (Note that these taxa might have been wrongly identified and view the physical observations to see the updated ID's if they have changed. I greatly enjoyed myself and would be very happy to get some help identifying these creatures! If the observation needs a video, an improved photo/GIF then please contact me on the iNaturalist messaging system. See you at the observations, Thank You for reading this post! OBSERVATION TOTAL: 18 OBSERVATIONS
