Euplotes swimming about as they search for bacteria to eat. Euplotes have clumps of fused cilia called cirri which are used for swimming and walking"", and which give them a jittery or herky-jerky movement. The cirri are also used to create currents in the water, drawing in bacteria. This oval-shaped protozoan measures about 150 microns across and is common in pond water.
