Saw this guy on my glass a bit ago, so I sucked him up with a small syringe and put him under my microscope. Sorry these arent the best photos, they were taken with my phone, I have a phone camera mount for my telescope but it doesnt work as well with the microscope, so I couldnt go any higher than 40x.

Looks like one.

Figured as much, I know I've got some hidden away on some rock here and there. I assume one of these days the melanurus will get em all. I was excited it was easily accessible and I had a moment to break out the scope. Wish I could have gotten some better pictures!
 
Those where some really good pictures.
Now I know what to look for if I ever have the need lol
