Amongst enigmatic ciliates you will discover through your Foldscope; Suctorians hold a special place. Strangely looking like stars – in the first look they don’t seem to be doing anything. They just sit; and wait.

But in this patient wait lies a secret.. Capability to capture and eat many other ciliates by a mere touch. Although I am still to capture Suctorians feasting; but I have not given up yet. Watch ciliates “almost” get caught by these elusive Suctorians.

More to follow up on this elusive organism.

Cheers
