Snail, than...Sarah, So that's where it got to!<br /><br />Snail, thanks! I found the diatoms. They're probably <i>Navicola</i> sp. I found another #8 today; yes, they do look like ostracods. And I found several hydroid colonies.<br /><br />I haven't had much time today, but I did find a couple of good galleries of images to search through tonight.<br /><br />I'm glad I got these done; today my grandson came by, took away the microscope, and loaned me another, one that will do insects, but not diatoms.<br /><br />Now I'm hooked; I'll have to buy my own asap.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-91953716613249541592012-02-19T16:51:20.404-08:002012-02-19T16:51:20.404-08:00I'm almost convinced that Sarah's right ab...I'm almost convinced that Sarah's right about #3, but it could also be an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iced_VoVo" rel="nofollow">Iced VoVo</a>.Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063904446757916981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-40889917252481834852012-02-19T10:20:27.335-08:002012-02-19T10:20:27.335-08:00This post so cheers me up.
