Hi Ariel,

Thanks for your usual beautiful photos and the video.  I always look forward to seeing what new protists you will show us.

Best wishes,
Tim

Absolutely great pictures. Thank you for them.
A short biography of the organism would be appreciated - and also a reference to the music - your own creation?

Ralf: The music is from old record of an Egyptian Arab-Jazz band.

Hello Ariel,
This is another gem in your impressive collection of footage.
The homology between Fabrea and Paradileptus is striking.
Thx for showing.
