back to animalcules

One nice thing about exam week is more free time to work on research. I'm finally getting to this fall's samples from the soil-invertebrate collection. So far, not much - the drought seems to be affecting the population sizes, which is totally unsurprising.

There's this, though:

On a festive red background. (I use a piece of red cellophane over the lighted stage of the microscope: it increases contrast and prevents me from burning out my eyes so fast). I can't quite tell if the caption for this one should be "JAZZ HANDS, EVERYBODY!" or "COME AT ME, BRO!"
