Imagine all living creatures on earth perish by some new pandemic that affects humans as as well as all animals, and the only survivors are the creatures in this Jar.

Yet I can't keep a regular plant alive in a pot for more than a week.

Question for OP: were all of the organisms deliberately seeded, or were some happy accidents from the soil?

I really loved this. Also so nicely depicted and captured. Its a universe within. Must be a good time pass watching over this.

Thanks for this. It inspired me to make my own terrarium.

So theres more than one centipede? Do they live to 12 years? How does the centipede not just kill them all since it's one small container?

I would pay to watch a full length Imax type video of this with some manufactured drama-voiceover and deep haunting classical music. Amazing!

I felt bad for the young isopod. He might not make it.
