Collected in murky, reddish pool downslope alongside Bearskin Lake State Trail, Minocqua, Wisconsin, 7/3/2024.
see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/214466815 for P5 (i forgot to photograph). different individual but I think it is the same species.
scooped out of a freshwater pond by a couple of my students. Complete guess on the ID!

This was found inside water from a puddle inside of a tree. (See second image)
Surface plankton tow done while trolling
Possibly the second record west of the Continental Divide, the first being http://n2t.net/ark:/65665/39d93e4e8-a728-44d6-b31e-86529dc0e56e
Habitat temporary pool with much vegetation.
Image 1 - male head showing fan-shaped antennae with three pointed tips.
Image 2 - male, ventral view.
Image 3 - male right second antenna, lateral view.
Image 4 - knob at base of distal segment of male left second antenna. Although Hartland-Rowe in his 1967 description of the species describes this knob as round, it's actually more-or-less pear shaped.
Image 5 - frontal view of male head.
Image 6 - habitat.
We went for a Black Water apnea session.
Swimming out into the dark and looking for critters at the surface.
Female. Jelly coat not visible.
Habitat: open water of lake.
H. glacialis is morphologically indistinguishable from H. gibberum, but their distributions are largely separate. The location of this specimen was very far from the area where both co-exist. See section 'Differential Diagnosis' on page 29 of the paper below:

Surface plankton tow while trolling at a less than ideal speed
Habitat vernal pool. Image shows male with right valve removed. The characteristic terminal abdominal hooks can be seen, as can the distinguishing features of the right clasper.
Copilia sp?
A large copepod, 3mm long. Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiritiri Matangi Island around noon.
Very large eyes almost like Ditrichocorycaeus aucklandicus.
Spotted on a lobate ctenophore (possibly Bolinopsis or Mnemiopsis sp. ).
A small unidentified copepod approx 0.7mm long in surface plankton haul off Tiritiri Matangi Island.
Parasitic copepod on leopard shark.

Microscope magnification 100x. Collected using a plankton net of surface and near surface waters.
Only Prostoma species which is actually known in my country. Used objectives: 3.2x,10x and 25x
Tasmanian mountain-shrimp Anaspides richardsoni, Tarn Shelf, Mount Field, Tasmania, April 2015
Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiri Island. Approx 1mm long.
First time I've seen this one in inshore waters.
Caught in a surface plankton haul off Tiri Island in the Hauraki Gulf.
The long and feathery bristles are there to create resistance to sinking out of the photic zone where its algae food is found.
Found underwater in creek. When opened there was a yellow larva.
This observation is about the nematode on the mite
Attached to N.P. spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) caught while longlining.
From what I observed they were only attached to the top side of pectoral fins and only 1 per dogfish. 11 out of 12 observed were on the right pectoral. It was quite hard to tell the ratio as I wasn’t able to check every dogfish throughout the day but once I noticed them on the fin, they appeared to be fairly common.
Habitat small, temporary pool.
Image 1 shows left lateral anterior of male.
Image 2 shows male cercopods with the distinctive distal spines.
Image 3 shows female cercopods.
Image 4 shows male left antenna II. Need to look closely to see the small protrusion between the thumb's main ramus and the spur.
Image 5 shows male frontal appendage to be entire, not cleft.
Image 6 shows ova.
