Bdelloid Rotifer innards have a design flaw: in attempts to use recycled materials as much as possible, the lateral intellarium canals cut and pasted from a bread bag, fell out of place when weights were removed. Elmer's School Paste—a bottle on hand for years—would not hold the rolled plastic pieces in place. In the photo, the "spine" of the rotifer has gut organs layout painted in acrylic, from small containers of colors purchased from Wal-Mart, originally used to paint drawer pulls during my apartment renovation.
The roitfer is looking....spare, at this point. It has to have rolls and folds like the Pillsbury doughboy, only clear, not fleshy.
