Halteria are only around 20 microns in length, and most of the time they just kind of spin. And charmingly the Halteria is edged in cillia that swirls with it unfurling as it moves and then wrapping back inward as the organism winds down. But let's zoom out past the point where we can see the defined lines of the Halteria's cillia, where it really is just one dot navigating a field of debris and see if you can keep up with it. Most of the time it's not really a challenge. It look like a floater in your vision, a clear blob that just idles away. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, it leaps across the screen and out of view potentially traveling as far from 100 times its own body length in a single second. That would be like if I, a six foot human being, could leap 600 feet in a second.
