Folliculina boltoni
caption Folliculina has mounted its lorica upside down on the Hyponeuston, the aquatic area closely attached to the water surface. Obviously the water´s surface tension was more attractive for mounting of the lorica than the petri dish ore bunches of filamentous algae.

Sample from a little creek near Kiel. This image was taken using Zeiss Universal with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.
