It's been a blast to explore around my own neighborhood lately - one because there are so many wonderful insects visiting my flowering herbs, and two because I've acquired a digital microscope and am learning how to start preparing specimens and exploring the micro-world. There's nothing like watching a protozoan attack something else, repeatedly, until that thing falls apart and you aren't sure what you just saw!
Nevertheless, I made some guesses in the hopes someone will correct/guide me.
Unsure of ID (iNat best suggestion) and hoping for info. Found in freshwater lake. Considerably larger than other diatoms and ciliates under magnification.
Series of photos shows changes over 30 mins and changing depth of field on slide.
