Euglena is a genus of microscopic, one-celled organisms in the Protista kingdom. There are about 150 species of euglenas. They live in fresh water, and are especially common in warm seasons when they may form a green scum on the surfaces of small ponds or drainage ditches. Euglenas have spindle-shaped bodies, and range in size from 1/1000 to 1/100 of an inch (0.025 to 0.254 millimeter) long.

Euglena agilis: 26-36 long, 5-7 wide
So it is right to say, that Euglena usually is a several dozen up to 100 micrometers long and over a dozen um wide. As a typical bacteria is about a couple of micrometers in diameter, an Euglena is a few orders of magnitude greater in size.
