Look who was living under the old aerobics step! So much for my clean-up efforts today. I was hoping to make the area where I photograph critters a little more attractive, but I will give these guys a day or two to find a better home.
Some better photos of tree moss.
Above: The terrarium-friendly moss I discovered after the rainstorm went right back to being ugly and brown after a few dry days!
I am giving this moss a try in one of my terrariums. It's got a nice sage green color and a cool shaggy texture.

The photos look great! However I did want to add a correction. The photos of the organisms growing on the tree branches are actually not mosses. They are lichens, which are symbiotic organisms that include a fungus with an algae (green or blue-green) that lives inside of it. The fungus provides a home with water and sunlight. The algae makes sugars that the fungus eats. The fungus are like little farmers.
