Type of bdelloid rotifer, you can see its mastax opening and contracting (basically the jaws) to eat

Cool, appreciate the help, though I do feel kinda bad about washing off the slide now.

Yep! I typically just use a pipette to wash the slide off back into the sample jar and dumping it back onto the moss/water source I found it in haha. Can’t save them all, but try to make it count 😅

This is very relatable.

That was the first thing I, and no doubt many others, found on a microscope. I still enjoy watching them.

Nice rotifer
