Things are Happening!

Since last Thursday, several things have happened in the eco-column. Condensation is increasing in the terrarium and decomposition chambers. In the terrarium, the vinca plant is thriving and the grass has put out new roots. The lizard is brown today instead of its usual green color. The frog seemed to have a deeper brown color than normally. In the decomposition chamber, the mushrooms have died and the moss is growing. One of the mealworms is preparing to become a beetle. I saw only one of the three beetles that were put into the chamber, but he seeemed to be posing for the camera. In the aquarium, the water is slowing changing colors. It now has a brown tinge. The fish and the leech are very active and the salvinia has new tiny, green leaves.
