I've been keeping a slide with some snail eggs in a "wet" container so I can watch the eggs develop over time. Over a couple of weeks nothing has happened to the eggs but we have a secondary event going on I found interesting. There was a population explosion of ciliates, and only one kind that I thought were Stylonichia. Along with these were a large number of cysts which I believed were associated with the ciliates.So now I believe I know what Stylonychia cysts look like.
This cyst (left image) was a stack of 7 photos to get the whole object into focus.
