Microscopic worms, like this nematode, are commonly found mixed in with algae and silt deposits collected from the creek study site. Food, organic debris, is funnelled into the mouth as it crawls and forced through the elongate digestive cavity by peristaltic muscular contractions. The nematode shown above was collected in October at creek site #4 and photographed with the flex cam coupled to the ocular lens of a compound light microscope. The specimen was photographed at 100 magnification.
