Ecospheres I have this terrestrial jar for about 3 years now. It had a couple of isopods and springtails in it. Isopods disappeared after 2 years and I forgot about it. I just looked cuz I saw red in the jar. That mushroom looks deadly! June 6, 2025
Ecospheres This video provides a good visual for ID’ing limpet (looks like a snail), hydra (green), ostracods (little tacos) and copepods aka cyclops cuz of that one red eye in the middle. These guys are exceptionally large, usually ostracods and copepods are lots smaller. June 5, 2025
Ecospheres Bladder snail skimming/filter-feeding on biofilm. This is at the very water surface and you can see the water flow going in. Not many folks know or have seen this skimming behavior. Such a great clean up crew. June 4, 2025
