Blepharisma is covered in tiny hairlike parts called cilia, which allows it to move through water - more slowly than vinegar eels, but faster than Volvox. Because of its cilia on all sides, Blepharisma can turn in any direction and often spins around. It spirals as well as spins in a circular motion. It can change direction very easily, which makes it somewhat difficult to keep in view on a microscope. They use their cillia as well as to sweep food into their buccal cavity (mouth).
