    Spirostomum WHAT??? Never even heard of it, lol. Up to 3mm in length, something I should keep an eye out for. What an amazing thing! :)

    Mad little things! Got shown some a few years back by that Howie Watkins fella, we were doing a pond dipping event. Didn't come across any for a while after that, until they turned up in my old garden pond...seem to love blanket weed.
