Hatching of eggs of common liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) into miracidia (free-living motile form). Fasciola hepatica eggs (in this video) were incubated 15 days in 0.5 cm water layer at 25C in the dark. After 15 days, eggs were exposed to intense light. Fully developed miracidia inside eggs started to hatch within 30 minutes after light exposure.

High-techtoilets in Japan. These bidets are commonly called washlets, and include many advanced features rarely seen outside of Asia. The feature set commonly found on washlets are anal hygiene, bidet washing, seat warming and deodorization. These high-tech toilets allow water temperature and water pressure to be adjusted to match the preferences of the user. By default, the vulva receives less pressure than the anus. Researchers in Japan have found that most users prefer a water temperature slightly above body temperature, with 38 °C (100 °F) considered optimal. High-end washlets like this one allow selection of vibrating and pulsating jets of water. The washlet can replace toilet paper completely, but many users opt to use both wash and paper in combination—although use of paper may be omitted for cleaning of the vulva. Some wipe before washing, some wash before wiping, some wash only, and some wipe only—each according to his/her preference. The heated seat may be adjustable from 30 °C to 40 °C
