CW008? Bottom pic looks more like C. elegans, with the black dorsal blotch, but that is not always a reliable indicator. I'm sticking with CW008 as my first guess, until Ian says otherwise, which should be any minute. lol. - Frank

On second thought, based on body shape, alone - I'm changing my call to C. elegans.
I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now. At least that's what my dog is always telling me!
