Maybe not the prettiest Bathyodontus. But my passion is strong and these scribbles make it worth it to love nematology. #nematodes #nematology

A beautiful Elaphonema sp female found in some dry soil from South Africa. 🐘 First and only discovered in South Africa by Prof J Heyns during his PhD studies 🇿🇦 #nematology #free-livingnematode

My first attempt at cutting the anterior region of a Criconematidae to see a 'face' view of the 'lips' #nematology #taxonomy

Still can't get over the beauty of the spiral shaped amphid 🌀 of this female Achromadora sp. This algae 🦠 and diatom feeder was found in soil from cultivated maize/corn fields in South Africa 🌍. Usually found in aquatic environments and amongst mosses 🏞️ #nematode #ecology #FreeLivinfNematodes
