Removing cholla from paw
1 mm body length. Found in water dippedc from the littoral zone of a pond. Was swimming under water while I took the photos.
Happy 40th Ross!!!! For everyone else, this is a rare glimpse at an even rarer collection of amazing atoms that I am proud to call both Homo sapiens, and my brother. Mazel Tov, Hairmano!
Collected for published University of Alberta research. Identified by microscope at UofA entomology lab.
This one seems new as I typically have male carpenter bees.
