Did you know that isopods have a pouch that they use to carry their babies, much like marsupials? Only some species do, other species deposit a fleshy sac in the soil or a safe location.

Some sort of damselfly we found down by the creek

Found this guy on a walk at a local public park. It's a creek and nature trail nestled in the heart of our city.

Probably my best picture if my main isopod enclosure, filled with Dairy Cow isopods (Porcellio laevis). Mood Moss looks like a field of grass they can graze on!

Pretty sure it's a female due to its small mandibles (correct me if I'm wrong) they're an indicator of a healthy ecosystem:)

more ants!

ants will sometimes farm aphids because the aphids poop pure sugar which the ants like to eat so they guard the aphids and keep them... clean. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

one more ant

I have no idea what this is other than an ant. Why is it red? is it really an ant or is it like the velvet ant which is a wasp? It kinda has a red skull on it's back, that's scary.
