Mystery Bug of the Month

July-06

Creepy, crawly and with such big eyes. . . . .

There are numerous species of Flatworms. Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Turbellaria. Planaria is the one most often recognized, especially since it is used in many science classes~
They do make cool photos and artwork and are amazing to watch!!!! They can wiggle and change shape! Their eyes make you feel like they are staring at you!

These photomicrographs were taken from many wastewater samples. Most of the objectives used were 100x and 400x. Some photos were taken at 1000x.

Come take a closer look at the amazing world under the microscope!

Phylum Platyhelminthes Class Turbellaria: Dugesia spp.	Play with the lighting and the iris in order to lighten up the coloring of the Planaria and see more details

they move fast
They wiggle and turn
On the head, it is very easy to see the two eyespots These can be quite large, and actually be seen visibly on the slide without the microscope. For details you will need the microscope	Tail end
