Arrenurus cf. bicuspidator
female
This species could be A. bicuspidator. The body is very round, that species is
usually more angular. It is possibly a young mite, of which the body (the idiosoma) will
still grow and get the characteristic angles. Thanks to Harry Smit of watermite.org for the name.
In the foreground (out of focus) a Cyclops copepod swims.
