wow!
This little critter was moving its legs so quickly that, from time to time, some of the legs were hidden under its body or other legs,
Looks so different from other Acari species.
Where are the other 2 legs ?
I agree with the mission. Great photos!
Amazing! You take "macro" to a whole new level!
I got sidetracked recently but now that I am back on board I am giving serious thought to starting a mission for Micro-life.
I agree with Peter - there is a whole interesting "world" out there at a microscopic level..
I highly recommend you create a mission for all of your wonderful protozoa :)
