Unfortunately the peertube instance I upload to is down, so you'll have to slum it with the YouTube link today.

I'll upload this to peertube.wtf once I can log in again.

Aww it's so cute. It must be quite a big worm to look like that at 100x. You think it's a microworm as we have in the aquarium hobby? Panagrellus redivivus? I have a video of some I'm still editing but they were super fast and wiggly, hard to capture!

This fella is for sure slower than I usually see for nematodes. I looked it up and it looks like microworms are a type of nematode. I have some other footage of nematodes and they are usually thrashing about quite violently. And 100% these guys are bigger than what I usually look at. I like the sense of scale this video brings since a lot of bacteria and some protozoans are in the shot with this big fella.
