Week 5 is here!

Finally here is the last of the weekly observations:



This had the lowest number of observed organisms out of the experiment but I still observed numerous Difflugia Corona this week, the most I have seen so far. But one organism stood out from all of them because it had the most movement. It was the "aquatic insect larva" that Dr. Macfarland named because neither of us could find its exact name. There are three pictures listed from it one being the main body as a whole, the second as the head, and the third being the foot (Covich and Thorp 1991). Other than that organism no other larva or microorganism stood out.
