Water Fleas

I went to Kew garden to get pond water. I was so excited that I couldn't wait until tommorow. So I started to watch living things in the water as soon as I came back home.

When I looked at water fleas under the microscope, I could see the organs of them. They were brown and their shapes were irregular. Their digestive organ was like red earthworm and their legs were as long as the witch's nail.

I could also figure out that the fleas were breathing because the water flew away whenever the fleas breathed out.

If you put the fleas in the water, you might think those water fleas are cute, but, if you look closely on the microscope, they look fascinating rather than cute.

They are cute-looking creature and I would prefer you to look at these!

The fleas were most clear when I used dark ground illumination.
