Thanks Mike for posting the video,
I managed to get this video of the tardigrade from some tree moss near the Salmon Creek Trail in Vancouver Washington.
Whenever I had seen water bears before they had looked so clumsy but then looking at their feet I realized they are designed for specific types of substrates. So I went looking for one on moss debris.
Looks like the little guy hooks his feet into the material almost with a locking and release mechanism. They probably need that to hang onto lichen and moss in a rain storm.

Thanks again for your Micscape article collection tips,
It’s what got me looking for these “Moss piglets”

Glad I read your article. I would occasionally run across a water bear in water samples. Nice to know about the lichen in water technique. Worked great first time I tried it.

Hi Mike
I am very pleased with the book and it’s updates.I bought a set of your filters in Sept.08(we had a email exchange on Land Rover ownership[hand cranking!] as well as the filters) and they are still going strong.
I’ve made filters myself in the past,but decided to buy the E book to find out how to improve my manufacturing technique.I’ve found it most helpful,thank you

Best wishes for the future
Tony
