Microscopic Monsters: Critters Of The Quick Current

Microscopic view of roughly oval shaped organisms. Caption: We've found what these stream insects feed on -- diatoms.

Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this episode, the Cyclops is washed out of the pond and tumbles into a rapidly flowing stream. In the rapids, they discover aquatic insects living under rocks. Through their careful observations, the Micronauts learn the insects are adapted for living on water-swept rocks. Part 7 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
