Small creatures

[Paul Iddon]

Here is fine specimen of the amazing centipede (great subjects, but I dislike them a little... urgghhh)...

And in a small pool of water, you can see several species of water loving creatures: the corpse of a waterhog louse (Asellus aquaticus), a flatworm (Polycellis nigra - an invertebrate of the phylum Platyhelminthes), a couple of globular springtails - this time a different species to the one above (Sminthurides malmgreni) and several Copepod (Cyclops is one of the most common genera of freshwater copepods, fresh-water crustaceans, especially cladocera, commonly called water fleas).

It's the speed they can move at too Jim...

Did you know they can move almost as fast backwards as they can move forwards?
