What you see

Recorded on 13 September 2018. This loop is the 1:13–1:38 part of a 2:53 recording; the full recording is on Commons.

Points to check against your own sample:

  • No segments, no bristles; the body is soft and shape-changing.
  • Smooth gliding over surfaces; Stenostomum often forms chains of individuals.
