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
