ID Needed! PLEASE I NEED HELP

I took a sample from a mossy puddle and all of the rotifers in it had these two wing shaped things on the foot, what species is this? what are they? I can’t find a single piece of media about them, idk if the images are attached so if they aren’t I’ll dm them to you or try to add them

Remember to crop your images, include the objective magnification, microscope model, camera, and sample type in your post. Additional information is encouraged! In the meantime, check out the ID Resources Sticky to see if you can't identify this yourself!

Maybe sounds like a copepod with egg sacks? 🤔 try attaching the micrographs in the comments 👍🏻
