Seeing What Lives In Rainwater By Making A Closed Ecosystem

It has been raining a lot and I've been wondering what lives in rainwater, so I decided to make a closed ecosystem using rainwater. This ecosphere contains some animal life as well as a lot of smaller life.
Enjoy!

Everyone: I've read your comments and you are right. This is not pure rainwater, but 'polluted' rainwater. I still think it's very interesting and exciting. I'm also planning to make an ecosphere with pure rainwater, however I thought it would be more fun to be able to use a microscope for that. I'm working on it. (Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGe6qZxsi7mYnpI) As some of you have pointed out the 'more distinct' larvae are actually pupae. Those small organisms you were seeing were probably rotifers. Thanks for all your comments!

[@evanfurn920]

Some roofs are designed to retain the water for insulation.

[@evanfurn920]

@readme info it's common here in AZ and other desert areas. It works here because the water evaporates fairly quick so I isn't sitting there getting stagnant or making its way through the roof to cause a leak.

[@evanfurn920]

@readme info it works by shielding the roof from the sun so instead of insulation keeping in the cool it's more keeping out the heat. It's mainly used for businesses. Sometimes they also flood the roof for this. I love the idea of green roofs but because o the heat here it isn't used to much. You do send a lot of solar panels and solar water heaters though.

I've been through this before where people will give you a weird look because you're collecting samples . I like to get plants like vallisnaria from a local lake ,plus the sand is really nice . I'll occasionally catch minnows for my pond or catch some sunfish aka Pumpkinseed fish . The adults will keep their distance but it's always the kids who are curious about what I'm doing and will ask me tons of questions about what,why etc . That's the fun part when I get a chance to educate them about nature and spark their curiosity . I always enjoy answering their questions and seeing how much fun it is for them . I was one of those kids and remember having a mentor who got me interested in the hobby when I was 7 . One year I made a native vivarium display for my son's class that had tree frogs, Oregon newts and some salamanders and stickleback minnows . The kids loved it so much that the teacher had to cover it up during class till it was time to view it . It became a hit with the kids and even the visitors to his classroom . If people want to act like I'm doing something odd I don't care . It's not any different than what a biologist does .

Since the question at hand is "does anything live in rain water?" the experiment would have been far better if you got the rain water from non-contaminated sources. Personally, if I were to have done this I would have created and sterilized a rain collector and just left it at that to see if anything lives in the rain water alone and not in the dirt, rocks, or anything else that the water would have collected while sitting on the ground, roof, and pots outside.

Same.

But where did the water from the street come from... Obviously it was originally rain water. And unless it was just chemically created isn't all water technically rain water at some point in time?

[@malkeus6487]

@@evilcanofdrpepper Well sure, that's technically accurate. But the rain water that falls out of the sky was previously water vapor which condensed around a particulate in the sky until it got heavy enough to fall. It's not quite the pure water you'd get condensed on the inside of a pot lid while you're cooking, but it's fairly close to that. It's almost pure. If THAT water, caught in a jar as it falls, before it hits the ground again, if THAT water contains the larva of whatever fucking worm was crawling around the jar in the intro...I'd have no choice but to never get it on my skin again. The water he's gathering from the street is nothing like the water caught directly from the sky. It's just like he was saying, it's got dust and dirt and whatever is on the ground mixed into it again. Do you understand the difference? Or are you just trolling me?

I often forget that you can see paramecium with the naked eye. Just a visceral reminder that there are little unicellular creepy crawlies all over - including inside you.

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Wobbles and Bean you can also see some microorganisms with the naked eye as well. Journey to the micro cosmos is an amazing channel as well. Must watch!

[@WobblesandBean]

@@AndrewKidd14145 Oh I do, I'm subbed to them. I love that channel! I also got an associate's in biology, I'm really fascinated by this stuff. There are actually lots of eukaryotes that are visible to the naked eye, like _spirostomum_ and the awesomely named amoeboid _chaos carolinensis._

Can you don't

Great.

Watching larvae is so much fun with this kind of music on a background

this man said “never let what anyone thinks of you stop you from putting rainwater into a jar” and I subscribed immediately.

best quote ever " if you recognize this place, please don't stalk me"

[@maddiemcgregor2010]

“It has a lot more distinct body features, so it’s probably easier to tell the species... but I dunno”💅🤣 this guy cracks me up

[@BroBurg445]

"There are a lot of isopods living here... good to know..." I knew it's only a matter of time before you make some project involving terrestrial isopods. Can't say I blame you, they are fairly interesting.

[@marli8907]

It made me unnaturally happy to see them. Rolly Pollies were my favorite things ever growing up.

I just subscribed, thanks for making these videos

[@gabrieladerre2862]

I love these videos! Maybe this will be my new hobby!

[@Saiintx]

Not gonna lie, your sense of humour really impressed me. The “thats where they like to keep their rain water” caught me off guard lmao

[@TheOverlordkill]

I like to think his neighbors don't know he makes ecospheres and that he's just a crazy man who collects rainwater from their roof

[@CarnivorousCowMan]

They probably think he’s doing them a favor haha

[@The64v]

Well, aren't those both the same thing?

[@chlo.the.lesbo.leo.]

Ryan Thompson i’d think he’s a witch

[@boricuawarrior]

Glad he adressed it because it already crossed my mind that he was mixing rain water from multiple places like roof tops and streets and potted plants into a singular jar which would sortve be polluted let alone might contain different properties of what catching rain in a regular cup would

"If you recognise this place please don't stalk me" Killed me lol 🤣

can you do with rain water from the sky only?

[@jamiegallier2106]

Interesting. It would have been cool to see the difference in what would grow out of each of the areas the ‘rain’ water was gathered from, as well as what grew in that mixed jar.
