Thorp, James H., and Alan P. Covich. Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates. San Diego, CA: Academic, 1991. Print.

last weeks observation that was done one new observation was found.
The organism found was a Chironomus sp. "Thorp, p.643 fig 158".
The Chironomus sp. was a larvel stage of a midge. It is apart of the genus family. This family is non-biting midges, in the subfamily Chironominae of the bloodworm family. Chironomidae contain several cryptic species that can only be distinguished by experts based on the characteristics of their giant chromosomes.
 
Also throughout my observation a lot more of Difflugia sp. has been observed and also a lot more Rotifers sp. have been seen.
