Yesterday I had found a, rare for me, Lacrymaria olor specimen and decided to move it to a clean slide for some imaging. I did manage to pick it up in a micro-pipette and transferred the water droplet to a new slide. A quick check with a low power objective confirmed it was still there so a cover slip was put on. Another quick search failed to locate it and a slow, methodical second look indicated why. It seems L. olor was swimming around in the water outside the cover slip. I washed it back into the jar so I could look for it another day.
Fast forward to today, I found 2 specimens from a different source. Go figure! Anyway, this time I made a video to put up. No feeding display, only searching.
