Whole bacteria are found within an organlle

Then I have to ask if you were aware that mitochondria were originally external, invasive organisms

Yes but mitochondria live in the cytoplasm. I guess I don't have much of a grasp of size differences that small so it blew me away to think to find a life form inside of the organelle of another lifeform.. I thought things were too small at that scale.
