Life on life on life.
This amazing electron micrograph shows a less than a millimeter crustaCEan (what else?) with a 20 micrometer diatom on it, which has a 500 nanometer bacterium on it.

The whimsical poems here have a reality to them:
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
