I had to show you guys this! The idea that I have this in my collection continues to amaze me. These are scales of a Madagascar Sunset Moth at x250. A beautiful addition to my butterfly wall as well. I have dozens more photos of this little. Let me know and I will show you.

One of the many things I love about microscopy is how so many people started giving me samples to look under my microscope for fun. For example, a friend of mine gave me one of the snake's skins from her pet Gartner Snake. She is one of many people Picture 1, x100. Picture 2, x250

I found this Seed Shrimp in a water sample I took from a local park. It kept moving its legs trying to move around. About a minute and a half it gave up and stopped.
