Hi Tom
Aye there are lots of creepy crawlies and much more, it's like looking for
nosema spore in some mashed up be guts, until you know whay you are looking for
it could be anything. I always carry a dissecting microscope around with me, it
helps me to  see and identify the wee things. By the way if you want to find
nosema spores all you have to do is scrape up some faeces, add water and hey
presto there they are with only pollen and not much else.  600x is a good
magnification at which to see nosema. You can recognise many pollens as well.
Regards
 
Peter Hutton
