My only new years resolution is to post more microbes on iNaturalist, like these metal oxidizing beta-proteobacteria! Pond scum royalty
A small puddle with an iridescent layer of film on top. The film is fragmented in a characteristic way that suggests it is made of a thin layer of oxidized metals. These kinds of films are produced by beta-proteobacteria.

Oops! Fell off my bike and fractured both my wrists. Luckily I'm not too banged up otherwise, but having a cast on one arm and a splint on the other is a bit of a bummer

The art: Rose pincushion gall. The artist: Diplolepis rosae. These wasp larvae release chemical signals that cause their host plants to grow bizarre, unique structures that they then eat!
Rose pincushion galls are fuzzy globes about the size of a ping-pong ball that grow on rose stems. They have the texture of a ball of stringy moss.

If you break open a gall you may find the occupants still feeding inside! Here are three small larvae munching on the green living tissue inside the gall.
