Thank you for your message! I couldn't find a way to respond so I hope this method is okay : ) I am so glad to share iron films with other people!! They are really quite common when you start looking for them! Would you be able to do me a favor? If you ever encounter films in your vernal pool patrols that look like iron films, but formed by bubbling to the surface of the water, would you let me know? Thank you!

This formation method means that they might not actually be iron films, but this type is quite understudied, and I originally encountered it in a vernal pool. :) If that is too much trouble though, no problem! I hope your vernal pool patrols go well! (and what a cool term, haha)

I could do that! It looks like you have iNaturalist, are there any projects related to iron films?

I just saw your ecospheres page and it is so cool! I want to make some now :-)

(I hope this method replies to you!) I actually just now made an account! People usually report films on iNaturalist as "Leptothrix discophora" but I've been hesitant to do the same because it's much more likely that they can form in a plethora of different ways that can't really be ascribed to one species. But I'll look into it more!

And yes you totally should make ecosphere jars! They're so fun and low-maintenence, and it's especially amazing to watch them evolve over time. My oldest one is 1.5 years and is still not done changing! Some professors I know have ones that are 15 years old..

HUGE skull collection page update, since I was lucky enough to discuss degreasing methods with a fellow hobbyist/curator. I decided to keep the outdated knowledge on the site, but to put a strikethough through everything irrelevent. This way, I can see how I myself have improved, and mistakes aren't something to be embarrased of. In the scientific world, it is good to have everything on record anyways, even mistakes.

YES!!!! I love her books so much! My mom had the whole collection, and I believe she read the stories to her students when she was a kindergarten teacher. Do you have a favorite story? Mine is the one with the caddis worms.

You know, as a French person, I personally think it is a crime that we don't seem to have any french translations. It's been a project for a while to translate them to maybe re-publish them? Idk... Also, my favourite book is by faaar Among the Meadow People, but I can't choose between the grasshoppers, the lazy snail or the tent-caterpillars!

I definetely think that they should be translated into more languages. That way, more people can enjoy them! Among the Meadow People is a good one.

Yes! I do! I have a few deer, an opossum, a skunk, two of our chickens who passed, a baby raccoon and a few more smaller ones. Collecting them is so much fun.

Adding lots of free, high quality resources in https://anolesquailsandmaybecattails.neocities.org/gettingkidsinvolvedwithnature, including ebooks, coloring books, and activities. I encourage even older people to have a look at these, they are all so informative for anyone regardless of age.
