When you observe our environment at the microscopic scale, a diverse cast of tiny critters is revealed. 

You can find organisms named after celestial bodies for their captivating array of prey-capturing spikes, and single-celled organisms that contain structures resembling eyes, mouths, feet, and arms. Some produce their own food through photosynthesis, some consume their food, while others defy these classifications by doing both!
