well eventually the plants died like they usually do in my care and it looks like this.
If you look really close there is some creature living in my jar. So crazy, the jar is completely sealed it must have hatched and grew into this thing without me even noticing. It's been there for a few days now and it is still moving around a lot. It has super long daddy long leg style legs and more weird news there are little sproutlings coming out from the dead weeds.
I had given up on this design because if doesn't let air reach the plants and i was sure thats why everything died, but new life is coming in and if i didn't have an air-tight jar that creature could've been in my bed. >.< Here are some more photos.
Hi, Beatriz. Thanks for following my blog. I thought I'd come check out your blog, and here you have a bug in your post! You have a crane fly, and yes, it must have been in the soil as a larva when you put your little terrarium together.
ReplyDeleteAdult crane flies have no mouths and do not eat. They mate, lay eggs in the soil, and then die. So it's up to you if you want to release her outside so she can find a man!
I love terrariums. Hope this one survives, and hope you make more, too :)
