Well it seems that the banana peel we added yesterday was a big hit with the beetles! Those two beetles are going to turn into big pigs by the time they finish with the banana peel! In the decomposition chamber I noticed today that we have some sprouting going on inside the humus as well as the very tiny insects I viewed both yesterday and today. I am thinking that these very small insects could possibly be chiggers! The water in our aquarium chamber is getting darker, which could possibly from the cap of the decomposition chamber which has soil material in it, is mixing with the water. At the top of our EcoColumn our frog, lizard, and slug all seem to be thriving. I think they are very hungry, so I hope that the banana gives us some fruit flies soon!!!! We did discover that we had another slug besides the one we put into the decomposition chamber at the beginning which has now took up shop in the top chamber with the frog and the lizard. I wonder how we got another one???? Lots of things going on in our EcoColumn which is very exciting.
