Lacrymaria are just amazing to watch. For whatever reason I have a culture that is loaded with them and have been able to observe them in greater detail recently. Their ability to stretch their necks and forage for food is almost unreal!

Lacrymaria, unbelievable neck extension!

These undoubtedly have to be the best images of this creature to be seen anywhere. If there are any better I have yet to find them and the timing of these shots could not be better. I have read that the Lacrymaria can extend its neck to 12 times its body length, this validates that claim for sure. Jahns states that extended the animal ranges in size from 500 to 1200um(microns). Like so many of your images Charlie these are some to be really proud of, thanks for giving us a look.
