-------OK Some people are. And truly a picture is worth a gigabyte of ascii.
The page is not as complete as we would like and questions like yours help to
improve it.

worm, a microworm or a planaria. Is this correct?>>

-------Some fish will eat certain species of flat worm-- which is why the

-------In water microworms swim in an "S" shaped wiggling manner and in
general they do not crawl on the sides of a water filled container. They will
settle out of a water environment eventually. They can and do crawl up the
sides of a culture dish but that is relatively dry.
