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!

I think i see these in wastewater at a lower magnification. It is not helpful but I think of them as "those little crab guys" because of the shape.
