After a few days, the biggest thing I noticed was that were many microorganisms. These seem to be
Tropidoscyphus that were surrounding a huge mass that may have been a ball of dissolving food. The Netrium have grown slightly in size and have elongated as well the Turbellaria. The plants themselves have not grown much more; my guess is that the plants are constricted in space and can not grow much more. However, I notice that the
Tropidoscyphus was a new creature that I discovered, so that means that new forming organisms are beginning to show up. Unfortunately, I was hoping to find the Midge but it seems as though it may have already turned into an adult and flew away. That is disappointing; I would have like to see it in person but oh well.
