tiny things that live in Yakamia creek

Karen passed onto me to aid my research images of some of the macroinvertabrates that live in Yakamia creek, taken under a microscope. Sorry I don't know the name of the photographer - appologies. I will get back to you with her name as soon as.

But I have to share them Right Now, because they are so incredible!

Notalina sp.

Necterosoma sp

Acarina mesostigmata

Lancetes lanceolatus

Hellyethira malleoforma

Symphitoneura wheeleri


Click on the images to get the big view of them. The bigger they are the better.
My favourite is  Hellyethira malleoforma. If I was an artist that is the kind of art I'd make. Brilliant! INcredible!

My other favourites are Notalina sp. and Symphitoneura wheeleri, also Lancetes lanceolatus, Necterosoma sp., and Acarina mesostigmata.
