| Schistocephalus solidus, a wonderful tapeworm |

| Paraspadella gotoi, another transparent worm |
 |
| During a one-month research visit to Mie University in Tsu, Japan I evaluated this other stunning transparent worm as an alternative to Macrostomum. I wished I could work on both (more on this). |
