Replacing lithomecium, the lithnumer has evolved many differences. It has a new organelle to find out if the cell is on the ground, on the ceiling of the cave or on a wall. The organelle is an ellipse full of water and a little oxygen. The organelle is stuck to the cell wall so its always straight compared to the microbe. Because the oxygen is lighter then the water it will always stay on top and depending on the position of the oxygen the lithnumer determines its position. If its on a wall or a stalagmite, it releases a web facing up to catch any falling otroutine in it. If its on the ground it simply roams searching for food. If its on the calling, it will flatten out as much as possible, to increase the space it takes, then it releases from the ceiling and falls down catching otroutines on the way.
Its reproduction is also effected by this new organelle. If its on the wall or on the ceiling it will simply split. But if its on the ground, it will create a spore-like cell made from 2 chambers. One is full of food, to be used when the the cell is being made, while the other one is full of hydrogen, collected from hydroutines, to make it float. Once the spore reaches the ceiling the new cell grows.
Its size is doubled for more mass and the web.
