Individual colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, composed of over ~10⁶ or 1 million individual bacteria, growing on blood nutrient agar in a laboratory petri dish.The bacterial colony works together to feed on the red blood cells in the media giving rise to a zone of clearing around the colonies
Invisible to the naked eye, each individual bacterium in the colony is only the size of 1µ (1/1000 of a millimeter), making them one of the smallest (and most abundant) living organisms on the planet.

Cool shot, very graphic yet real, and unique--voted yes for "Creatures". I can relate: I'm currently doing battle with S. Aureas over possession of my skin for the second time. Ah, life in the semi-tropics.
