The first is the simple serpentine shape of their bodies, and the second are those little dots inside of them. They look like bubbles, but they’re actually sulfur granules. pGUshqfloDA microcosmos-the-complicated-sex-lives-of-hydra Microcosmos | The Complicated Sex Lives of Hydra If we were to write a fable to get this moral across, it would have to star the freshwater cnidarian called the hydra. Because in the hydra, the question of butts connects to the ambiguities of immortality, which in turn relates to the befuddling matter of sexual reproduction.

They’re single-celled and major producers of the oxygen we breathe, but the real reason we love seeing them is because of their frustules. 0GOgiJlHkcY lichen-the-mysterious-love-child-of-fungi-and-algae Lichen | The Mysterious Love Child of Fungi and Algae A useful principle in the story of life is that you should never underestimate algae or cyanobacteria.

Our world today, the one that we have constructed, feels as if it runs on plastic. It is a building block in our bags, our bottles, clothing, toys, the list could go on and on.

But while we were able to see a lot with the microscopes we had at the time, James, our master of microscopes, has made some significant upgrades since then and this means that we are now able to see gastrotrichs in a whole new light.
