Identification: Detached ciliary tufts from bronchial epithelial cells, also know by the fun-to-pronounce name "ciliophthoria".
Everyone who wrote in correctly realized that these are NOT ciliated parasite in the respiratory tract - although they are a common parasite mimic. On wet-preps of unfixed specimens, the cilia may still be beating and therefore they are definitely eye-catching!
