Lesquereusia spiralis
Lesquereusia spiralis

(Ehrenberg 1840)

This "bug" seems to have bent its apertural neck toward its aboral end. In effect, it seems to be "spiraling". Also note that it likes to incorporate diatoms (even smaller, pillbox-like microorganisms) into its test (shell). Some might say that it's a bully, picking on poor, little, defenceless diatoms like that.
