Found Love at the Bog - testate amoebae

Flameworked borosilicate glass bog scene within a glass Petri dish, pairing microscopic (~100 micrometer) testate amoebae with bog plants. In this peculiar environment of carnivorous plants and cranberries, testate, or shelled, amoebae thrive within the moss. Crawling along with their psuedopods, two have found each other here.
