When something is too small to see using visible light I don't consider it to even be a physical thing, in the traditional sense. All these electron microscope images look freaky but it could just be the way that data is interpreted by our machines.

Amoebas are great because their prey is always all chill like "it wants to give me a hug, dawwww :3:"

Until the magic starts happening then it's just OH gently caress OH gently caress OH gently caress.

Well obviously they don't "look" like anything because they don't reflect visible light. They are quite literally invisible.
