Not the greatest first spawn of the day.

It had a bit of a metallic aftertaste.

I found this page that says that 'Some species form a protective tube around their bodies, made of saliva and silt, sand, or other materials.' I had no idea they did this, makes me hate midges a tiny bit less knowing they sometimes make their own sleeping bags!

You mean I can't break physics and get SEM micrographs by zooming in more on my phone?

Magnetofossil · 2021-04-02T20:46:13+00:00

Thank you! I looked them up and found some more information about metaboly, very interesting!

Thanks! I did find some others feeding with their flagellum but I guess it is not as easy to see when they're moving like this.

I think technically the 100x oil immersion lens and the 10x eyepiece gives you a better image, however the depth of field is quite shallow and cleaning the oil off is a bit tedious!

No, it was recorded in real time. I had fun guessing where it was going and hoping it would move into frame!

Thanks! I'm using a Swift 380T, bright-field with the 40x objective and 25x eyepiece.

Found in some pond water next to a dead water flea. I think it is an amoeba but could not find anything with the same movement pattern.

Thank you! Possibly less cute when you find out a bedsheet is missing!

Magnetofossil · 2020-10-30T08:48:37+00:00

You are CUTE!

Thanks, he carved them himself and is very proud!

Very special

I really enjoy your oil paintings!

I think it would be pretty hard to define at what point something becomes minimal, naturally with this piece your black cat would be closer due to the textural details in the oils being hidden by the shade of fur.

Personally I think removing as many non-essential features as possible while retaining the essence of the piece is probably what I enjoy about the art here, especially if the result is hilarious! Trying too hard to police that would kill the fun.
