The siege engines will be year 5. Year 10 will be the mites uploading videos of humans and pets living in sealed buildings.

The orange dots could be (in my opinion) dead chroococcus cyanobacteria that have died for some reason on the glass, decomposing and becoming orange in color. You might see some small greenish circles in clusters around the water around the mites and algae at 1:22 onwards, and I strongly suspect these are the same large cyanobacteria from the genus Chrococcus. (Of course, the magnification in the video is lower than that of various chroococus images online (those through microscopes) but the basic structure and shape of this orange organism looks very similiar)

[@Nyctonaut]

It's amazing how relative time is. 2 years to us is multiple generations for creatures living in the ecosphere. I can't help but anthropomorphize them and imagine them telling tales of generations past. Edit: Spelling

[@KaziKami]

Two years is like thousands bruh i wouldnt be suprised if some have evolved over time

[@picklewart5382]

Now think about that, but applied to beings beyond us.

Eu amo esse canal, assisti todos os vídeos. Conteúdo fascinante!

[@mortuaryreport]

i’m curious about the sealed aspect of the jars. my attempts at ecospheres in similar jars seem to fail, in part because of the sealing. what are you doing that’s making yours successful? wonderful videos!!

[@NoName5589]

Inspired by Jartopia I started doing the same thing a little over a year ago using fully sealed jars. To date I've only had one really thrive and the others seem to have close to an 80% failure rate. It seems to a a bit of luck with how many organisms you fill the jar and it's very easy to overpopulate on algae. My good one just sits on a window sill that doesn't get but 1 hour of direct sunlight right at sunset and no artificial light. I hope any of this might help you

[@mortuaryreport]

@@NoName5589 thank you so much for this. i'm going to make another attempt this week but might quit after that. i feel too guilty having so many little critters die!

[@STSSilver99]

It's interesting to see the progress after following for so long. So how much water evaporated if any did?

[@wmdtone]

Another excellent video

[@averagehummus]

It would be cool to see a bigger ecosphere but with thermoregulation, led panels, and an energy source like solar panels, and that everything could be monitored remotely.

[@mlpocsidetrack]

It would be cool, but I like the simplicity of it. Some dirt, sand, a few plants, light, and a lot of time. Yet so much is happening.

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

Amazing how life still exists in the jar. I’m amazed.

[@aeonyx_cinereus]

[@biblelightbulb]

Question: Do these jars have to be exposed to direct sunlight to propagate, or can they use kept entirely in shade?

[@Ranstone]

Honestly better not to put them in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight for more than a couple hours a day will result in an algae bloom, usually killing the ecosphere. A little sunlight, and mostly shade seems to work.

[@KindaStupid.]

Probs a bit of sunlight to keep the plants going

[@FriendlyKat]

Wow, I didn't expect mites to be the most common in the jar, but also, they are parasites so that makes sense. Very cool stuff to see it still going 2 years later! Life finds a way!

[@yungmerkules7414]

Do you ever open a jar? I have my own jar and would like to let the waterplants grow higher since they started growing out of the water, what do you think?

[@Jartopia]

If you open it it wouldn't be an ecosphere anymore. You can still enjoy it, but ecospheres are supposed to be sealed off and air tight. An open ecosphere wouldn't be an ecosphere anymore, it'd be a jarrarium.

[@captain_khaos]

i wonder if, by passing it through generations, one can see a small ammount of evolution in an ecosphere... of course, the original creator wouldnt, but itd probably be great for future generations to view videos and other recordings of ecospheres and see how they compare to how they look at their moment

[@captain_khaos]

@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles thats a bit more forced though, aint it? it would be much more interesting to see it happen on its own

[@captain_khaos]

still interesting, though, and it shows animals adapt to their enviorment as generations pass

[@Nyctonaut]

Sure. If one is "born" with a mutation or change to their DNA that gives it benefits over another then that one would have more successful offspring so on and so on.
