They can travel up to 500km in a 48-hour period in search of food and spread pollen and disperse seeds in the process!

The Fat Puppy (microscope) - https://videos.trom.tf/w/s2i6fQVeFkCiPsmNmm8EDC

This is one of the cutest little organisms I recorded so far. I am using a cheap digital microscope to record these.

I found this guy in the dirt of a flower pot. Mixed the dirt with water and put some of the water under the microscope.

Which probably accounts for the colors, a warning sign. #moth #insects #biology #photo #nature #wildlife #science #ecology
