I know the correct answers to this quiz, but won't post them here so as not to spoil the fun.

2. It is microscopic. That looks like an electron-microscope image.
3. It exists now.
4. Yes you can eat it. In fact, I am guessing that we unwittingly eat many of them every day... Hope the stomach acid kills 'em.

OK, I cheated too. But anon is wrong and we should refer to deep-sea Isopod underlords.

I was going to go with dust mite.
