My table is a bit wobblily haha, but I recorded a video of this large creature from the same sample of water as the copepod. It appears to be ostracod, a small crustation. It fascinates me how their little feather like limbs beat to give the appearance of a circulatory system.

This little guy to me about an hour to get a decent video of. Even still his speed made him hard to view.

Now that I can upload images, here are a few photos of the same creature I witnessed in the previous video. The stripes on it are most curious and the front of him reminds me of an oral groove. I wonder what it is!

We're gonna try a video since Photos aren't working. This worm thing, is still unidentified (As I haven't looked into them yet) but is quite common in the pond I search.
