Ostracod? I collected this teeny tiny critter from a swamp (freshwater). It was about ~0.5 mm in length, maybe smaller. They have flattened bodies that are protected by a bivalve-like &quot;shell&quot;.<br /> <br /> <section class="video"><iframe width="448" height="252" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/552214729?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0"></iframe></section> Geotagged,United States,crustacea,ostracod,ostracoda,seed shrimp Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
