Observation 4
Hello readers! This past week on Friday November the 5th is when I went in and made my observations, I noticed that many of the organisms that I had seen the previous week had seem to have just vanished! It was as if they were almost never there. I could still see a few of them but most were just gone. (Daphnia) I think they must have just lived out there life cycle I guess, or did not get enough nutrients to survive. I did however see a Chaetogaster, which is a long worm that was just swimming around not doing much, but what i did find out however is that it is closely related to the regular earth worm! I have attached an URL to a video where you can watch the Chaetogaster in action, it just one eating some smaller organism it seems but it is still very interesting because you can see whatever it ate in side it. http://www.microscopyu.com/moviegallery/pondscum/chaetogaster/videos/chaetogaster01ob.mpg
