Darting and dashing
Species name:Frontonia (Frontonia leucas)
AL-Museum AL-Museum
A large ciliate whose whole surface is densely covered with cilia is darting around. It pauses for an instant and then dashes into a group of particles. This violent activity disturbs the peaceful habitat occupied by small algae and flagellates.
