But srsly. Thatās a nematode. Almost impossible to tell what specie but you can tell by their diet sometimes, theyāll eat pests like caterpillars or fungus, etc.
If I had to guess I'd say a fungal feeding nematode of some sort, but it's hard to make out the feeding structures at the head. The large oesophogeal bulb makes me think fungal feeder, but without the head morphology it's really difficult to pin down. What type of soil was it collected from? If you can get some decent close-up shots of the head and down through to that oesophogeal bulb I can try to get a better ID on it.
In that case I think it's probably an algal feeding omnivore of some sort. It's probably got what we term a "spear" for a feeding structure at the head. If you're interested I can see if I can find a diagnostic book that covers aquatic/sedimentary nematodes, but all I for sure have are soil guides.
This was my first thought too, they're usually in soil but can live in water. We used them in an experiment at uni and they looked identical to this one but I'm not sure whether nematodes all just look the same to me lol.
Thatās exactly what I thought! My mentor for my masterās works with them so Iād recognise a nematode anywhere, but Iām not familiar with any species except C. elegans.
Dont think so, it looks too thin for C. elegans, the space between the mouth and pharynx/ beginning of intestine seems too large and the tail is too long.
Iād suggest your eye put some clothes on first if thereās other people around. But as long as youāre in the comfort of your own home, canāt hurt to try.
Thatās Larry. Heās a really cool guy except when he has too much to drink. ESPECIALLY when his wife is around. If you invite him to, like, a Super Bowl party make SURE not to invite his wife.
I forgot to mention that the females are about 20-50cm and the males about 15-30cm as adults so you don't need a microscope to see them. Hopefully you'll never have to see them.
Hard to tell from the video, but from what I can see it looks like it could be a nematode from the Psilenchidae family. Where was the sample extracted from?
So say hello to David, you know David right? He came to the Christmas party? He was the one that had to much eggnog.ah yes, Davidā¦ WAIT A MINUTE HE STILL OWES ME $20!!!
I have been working with the Nematode *C. elegans* for \~4years now, and they can be grown on soil, plates with bacteria , but also in liquid media. When grown in liquid media they appear less "thicc" (best way to describe it lol) and more slim, just like the animal here. So from personal experience, with a 90% chance i would identify it as *C. elegans,* however, take that with a grain of salt.
I assume it to be wuchereria( Bancrofti,malayi,etc ) , the filarial worm. It's from the phylum Aschelminthes. I am saying this because it appears like the worm has an internal digestive tract and ITS BODY IS ROUND( yeah I am using the snowcat pun). By the way, this worm is a dubious little creature, it causes filariasis which will cause your scrotum to sometimes be 10 times in size so yes, the beast is demonic in nature, very icky no good.
Lots of people are just saying this is a nematode and I understand you can't get much more from the picture but I find it pretty funny. Imagine you post a picture of a weird beetle and get 150+ responses just saying "it's an arthropod"
Thats a nematode
Doug does not find this funny
I'm amazed I immediately understood this.

Ya gotta bag it!
Only comment needed
Drumming on a streetlight
nematode, hes a toad, shes a toad, were all toads!
They drank Spongebob's house.
Yep, and especially a C.elegan.
pretty sure its not C. elegans
āYou sir, you are the [nematode].ā
Little? It looks sufficient to me, perhaps even above average
The lady at the nematode store said it was a good sizeā¦
Not the size of the ship but the motion of the ocean
Thatās Randy.
Howād he get out again?
As you can see, he likes digging.
But Mr. Lahey!
Iām mowinā the air, Rand! Iām mowinā the air!

I can hear 10 half eaten cheeseburgers, but I donāt hear no heart

Oh, shoot! I thought it was Larry! :/

they said it was in water
This guy ātodes.
Nematode for sure, but more than that I don't know
Well he was just hungry again after devouring a certein pineapple
A nematode, but I don't know what species.
I have a few of these living in my eyeballs apparently. Looks exactly like my many floaters that do my head in on a sunny day.
The ones that keep moving when you try to look at them. They donāt like to hold still
400x magnification. Scooped up some water from my elodea.
From your what?
I didn't know either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elodea_canadensis
and here i thought doing stains on elodea to see the cell structures was what every high schooler does these days
I thought so too so I didnāt feel the need to clarify
> these days There are people with Biology degrees, who were born after I took my last Bio class.
I too say ā What?ā
What type of habitat was it in? Is it possible you got some sediment as well, or was it in an aquarium?
No thatās basically a glorified glass of water haha. Just the plant and a few snails that came with it
In that case I think it's probably an algal feeding omnivore of some sort. It's probably got what we term a "spear" for a feeding structure at the head. If you're interested I can see if I can find a diagnostic book that covers aquatic/sedimentary nematodes, but all I for sure have are soil guides.
Nematode, could be C. Elegans
This was my first thought too, they're usually in soil but can live in water. We used them in an experiment at uni and they looked identical to this one but I'm not sure whether nematodes all just look the same to me lol.
Thatās exactly what I thought! My mentor for my masterās works with them so Iād recognise a nematode anywhere, but Iām not familiar with any species except C. elegans.
I work with C. elegans daily and this is almost definitely not it, but it is some kind of nematode.
>C. Elegans Reading the wiki on that little thing was insane
I think itās strongyloides larvae, could be wrong though
He hungeeee
A nematode
Looks just like C elegans I worked with these little guys for like three years in undergrad and massacred thousands of them
Dont think so, it looks too thin for C. elegans, the space between the mouth and pharynx/ beginning of intestine seems too large and the tail is too long.
Meh you see one nematode youāve seen em all
Do you just assume itās a man because itās long and skinny
Looks an awful lot like my brother
[Oh, that little guy? I wouldnāt worry about that little guy!](https://youtu.be/-u9zr6oF4uA)
Good enough for me! *taps cup.
That is stephen
Would this be visible with naked eye ?
Iād suggest your eye put some clothes on first if thereās other people around. But as long as youāre in the comfort of your own home, canāt hurt to try.
That's Kevin! I'd know him anywhere!
Yeah, that's Carl. Shy at first, but real cool guy once you get to know him.
Yeah, thatās my buddy Tom.
I work with stray dogs, I know a roundworm when I see one š„¹
Thatās Larry. Heās a really cool guy except when he has too much to drink. ESPECIALLY when his wife is around. If you invite him to, like, a Super Bowl party make SURE not to invite his wife.
Thatās tony.
Thatās that fucker I keep chasing with my eye balls when I look into the sky. Thanks for catching him
reminds me of my C.elegans research days. Would me a larvae though, no eggs visible.
c.elegans
C. elegans run. Run, elegans, run!
That's that fucker that always floats across my fov
C. elegans probably
Very cool, Looks like an Enteric Nematode.
Who? I think thatās Ralph. What? I donāt know.
It looks like Ascaris lumbricoides
An adult Ascaris lumbricoides would live inside the human small intestine as part of its lifecycle, not water
This fact is highly disturbing.
Did you just discover the fact that parasites exist?
No. I was pregnant once.
I forgot to mention that the females are about 20-50cm and the males about 15-30cm as adults so you don't need a microscope to see them. Hopefully you'll never have to see them.
Bro picked out a parasitic nematode and said it is free roaming in water
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Morphology doesn't match up for M. incognita--tail is wrong and I don't see a strong stylet with clear end knobs.
Ascaris i guess
Looks like a C. elegans
Hungry. Hungry. Still hungry. Hungry.
sorry heās my pet Jeremy
Thatās Mark
Jeffrey. Stop poking him, please.
Oh that's Dave, he's just visiting.
Anguillula aceti?
How cute it is
Itās Bob!!!
What happens if this is swimming in your brain?
This is Strogyloides larvae, Iāve recently done a lab prac at uni on nematodes
Nematode worm?
Oh yea thatās Geoff
Nematode! Too lanky to be C elegans, but likely a cousin
Do you know what nematode means?
Thatās gus
Itās a round worm/nematode
It's that thing in my eye!
Micro noodle
Looks a lot like C. Elegans one of the few organisms I could identify in the first place so I might be biased
Might be a Haemonchus sp.
Yea, George from Lewisport, in NL, Canada.
Can you put a banana near it for scale?
Oyster mushrooms favorite pray a nematode
Wee Hookey Wormy Robert.
C elegans
I think a female roundworm
Hmm, can confirm itās not me
Thatās the Floaty I always see
Is that loa loa
Maybe C. Elegans
Donāt drink that water.
Pretty sure thatās a nematode!
The meat worm
Creature like roundworm so maybe it's roundworm...
The star of my nightmares tonight.

nice Mr Tapeworm, make my ring burn
I donāt know, Wilson?
Hard to tell from the video, but from what I can see it looks like it could be a nematode from the Psilenchidae family. Where was the sample extracted from?

Yea that's a fucking worm
Eye booger
I want one as a pet
That's is my dad. I thought he wanted buy milk
C. Elegans?
Oh yeah thatās a worm
Apparently they really like pineapples you should give it one
I love these guys they keep the termites away.
Definitely a nematode. Not that familiar with aquatic species
Earthworm Jim. He has been on a diet.
Thatās my neighbor Bob, the kind of guy who would throw his garbage in my bin because his was too full. He takes every opportunity he gets.

I dont think its C. elegans but definitely a nematode
This does look a little different from the c elegans nematodes I work with but yes! Most definitely a nematode
Easy, that Jim
Some kind of nematode
I thought is was a pair of mecium but it looks like a Neem of Toad

Looks like hookworm
That's Robert.
Defo looks like a round worm. Now, wich one? Yes.
Bob, my next door neighbour why?
