 We do not know exactly what this organism is. It was found in stagnant water with mosquito larvae. As you can see, there is an air bubble inside it which we believe was trapped accidentally.Besides the brown stained organism, what you are seeing are scratches as transparent plastic pieces were reused as cover slips.


 We hope someone is able to help us by identifying it- Ishwardutt Joshi, LIS Bhimtal, Nainital.
