Mesacosm Photos!

I set up my Mesacosm last night! (9/21/15) and here are some photos: 

Here is a view of my mesacosm from the side. The plant is peppermint, and there is a cricket inside.

Planning

I have decided to build a terrestrial mesocosm for my IB Biology Class. I believe I will use two 2-liter soda bottles (empty), soil, water, organic fertilizer, earthworms, a plant, and an animal (most likely an insect). I am buying supplies tonight, and will most likely set it up tomorrow.
