Inside iTerrarium

I couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with some of the little guys inside my previously posted iTerrarium. I’ve included a shot of the terrarium below so you can judge the scale of these plants. They are super-small. Or you can go visit the post linked above to see the whole thing.

I thought this little black speck was dirt but it turns out it’s a little caterpillar/wormy thing! So cute and so so tiny.

Shot with Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens and submitted to Jude’s Macro in the Garden challenge.

    So pretty, but I hope you removed that caterpillar or you will have nothing left!

      Hmmnnnnn, I didn’t think of that. He’s still in there. Actually I’ve just noticed that this morning he had clung on to that beautiful pink stem of flowers and is weighing it down. I feel bad about removing him, but I think you’re right!!

    I like the first one. Look up flora nova by Warwick Orme if you get a chance on google.

    so detailed DJ and that little grub needs to be out and put on a plant in a garden outside. I’m pleased you included a finger to show the scale
