Hello,
Here is a video of a Cercaria (a Trematode larva, xiphidiocercaria?)
10-100x, enjoy  8)

Excellent video, and the sting (stilet) of the xiphidiocercaria is clearly visible!
Can you remember the species of the snail, from which the cercaria emerged?

Greetings,
Alfons

Thank you Alfons!
No snails were present in the sample, but dozens of those Cercariae.
Its the 2nd time I found those in that urban pond.
Thanks again for answering.
