Nov. 5 post

During my latest observation, I noticed much more activity in the micro aquarium.  A lot of this new activity is probably due to the Beta food pellet that Dr. McFarland added (McFarland). 

I once again saw the long organism that I originally thought to be a mosquito larvae, but when it came time to have Dr. McFarland identify it, it was MIA.  However, after looking into it myself, I am feeling less confident in my original assumption that it is a mosquito larvae.  Hopefully it will be identified for sure next week.

I also noticed more single celled organisms, many of which were near the food pellet

The most interesting thing I saw this time was an insect larvae that couldn't be identified (Fig. 305 Pennak).
