So if you swim in a river where these are they will swim up inside you via one of several holes? And then lay a million eggs? Ouch!

They are everywhere!... but, they are not infectious, so no need to worry :)

What were they eating (2.01)?

Hi! That's a dead rotifer (there are many species of rotifer and that's one of them). Apparently everyone wanted a piece of it! :)
