A Bustling Ecosystem within a Jar │ Seasonal Wetland Ecosphere - 1 Month Update
In this video we're taking a look at the Seasonal Wetland Ecosphere I built on the 6th of August 2020. The ecosphere is 1 Month old now, so I wanted to do an update video.
A lot has changed within the system. A majority of the plants that were in the substrate died back. They have started to regrow, but haven't recovered as quickly as I thought they'd have. There are mosses and some sort of aquatic plant. I'll have to keep and eye on it to see if any new plant species emerge.
Many organisms are still present within the ecosphere. There is an extremely diverse selection of Ostracod, Copepod and Snail species, which have been thriving in this ecosphere since it's creation.
Species such as the Epibiotic Algae, which was seen covering the bodies of Copepods in the first video seems to have either declined or died out in this system. The Scavenger Beetles also are no longer in this system. I removed them as the duckweed was growing too thick for them to deal with and I didn't want them to drown.
There is a certain species of worm in this video that remind me of facehuggers from the Alien franchise. I got some really good footage of it and forgot to put it into the video. Sorry guys.

I am a plant lady who used to dislike insects due to the damage they can do to my plants. However, since I have found your channel I have realized there is a symbiotic relationship between plants and insects. Working with them instead of against them has not only improved my plant growth but it also opened up this world of alien life I am so incredibly fascinated with...Thank you!

Same. I used to hate worms and suffer from dehabilitating arachnophobia. But being a plant lover who keeps his hands in the soil, you run across everything. Insects I Didnt even know exist. As far as spiders, when I moved I made sure to get a few spiders in my plants as they eat the insects I dont want hanging around. So...so much for my dislike of worms and spiders.
There’s something so unbelievably relaxing about these videos.

Yes it is
That last worm, Naiadid, are absolutely incredible. All of the creatures within the ecosphere are breathtaking but those worms were so interesting. Their red hue and the way they move, almost look like a heart beat line on a monitor that you see in hospitals. Love it.
I didn’t believe this stuff was possible and that organisms appear out of no where until I tried it myself today. I’m truly humbled and I apologize for doubting this person. I’ll also continue this unique hobby from now on. Thank you. You’re Awesome man💯❤️🙏🏾.

I appreciate how the placement of the flatworm's eyes makes it look like it has a long floppy snout.
You need a Microscope! 🔬 I’m sure the microcosmos in these jars are amazing!
These videos are exactly what we need during these times. Thank you.
The little snail nyooming up using the air bubble was the cutest thing! It made me smile 🥰
Great timing! I just started a new seasonal pond ecosphere today. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wooaaw This is so pretty, and relaxing! I love the biodiversity inside this jar, and your videos of it are beautiful^^ Edit: I knew all of the organism showed, except the last to worms, they looked like aliens :0 Keep it up, your content is amazing!
I giggled at the species that injects soil and flies it around from the other end! 😁😄 It's eight in the morning and I barely slept four hours. I love the little creature. I want a theme park full of them.

Best jar channel in the game. Imitated but never duplicated.
Fascinating. I like all of creatures.
I really liked the Naiadid Worms. They look very unique, and I like how they filter waste products and release soil balls.

I discovered your channel this evening & it’s now 1.28am! I’m hooked, completely. I have a huge houseplant collection, love gardening & love insects. These jar ecosystems seem like a natural progression into the microscopic universe that I love, so huge thanks for your amazing work. The hydra vulgaris are my favourite & sent me off researching immediately. I’d no idea we had such organisms in the UK. Living near Dorset flood plains, I hope to create such a world myself soon. You’ve another fan & subscriber!
You are the master of the Ecospere building 🙌
8:43 is something straight out of my nightmares! I’ve just found this channel and I am completely amazed and hooked! This is amazing what you’ve done! Thank you for your creations!
Your channel is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this! & what an awesome idea! It’s so cool!
Damn. How the hell did i just watch every one of this channels videos. I gotta wake up in 4 hours.
My children and I made jar ecospheres for homeschool. We are enjoying studying them a few times a week and noticing new things each time!
I'm so glad I found this channel Jartopia I watch these videos before I hit the hay for some reason it's relaxing. My favorite thing was that beetle larvae, I would like to see what that thing becomes. Just keep sending these jar videos please.. maybe it's because I liked bugs a lot when I was a kid.
Also I Love all plant and animal life, and am very impressed and inspired! Thank You for sharing!🙂
Wow now I wanna start my own ecosystem!!!! Glad your channel made it to my recommendeds
So relaxing 😌
U R A genius
Really enjoying these amazing videos! I have wetlands near me so very tempted to give this a try.
I absolutely love watching these videos and even inspiring me to make my own
Interesting work.
My cat loves your videos, they calm him down.
As soon as I'll have my own house, I'll do 1 or 2 ecosphere as well, looks pretty cool !
Life in all forms is just so beautiful
I started watching these vids last week. The jar I ordered online came today
OK so just stumbled on this channel. First of all, OMG where has this been all my life! And also, someone is going to have to tell me more about that soil... regurgitating... worm thing! super cool man I could watch this stuff all day!
You make really nice videos, please keep making it, you inspired me to make my own terrarium, and it worked!
You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you for encouraging me to start my first sealed ecosystem, and my first step into this hobby. I made a sealed ecosystem with glowing algae the other day. I hope it lives. O_O

Ganimede the Ostapod was sickened by her role as a Ramhorn herder. She longed for adventures. One day, she stole a water suit from an Ostapod Leaper Guild member, and boarded their Leapship. She's ready to see what the other Jars had to offer.
Those filter worms are super cool
That was one funky flatworm
That worm that spat out dirt in balls was probably my favorite organism in here. Everything about it is just so interesting.
I love these videos. I just started seeing some of those tiny snails in my planted aquarium. I'm about to start some kind of terrarium/aquarium in a large glass jar my mom gave me. I would love to do something like this.
Yayyy a new vid
snails are always my favourite! (-:
Ostracods are my favourite, they are just really cute and adorable in my opinion, the particular one that you showed bobbing from left to right was really cute, I know I’m weird but hey, I’m honest XD
great vid really enjoyed it. music was a good match...peace out
My favorite organisms are the water mite, the fingernail clam and the star-a$$ed worms. Nature is marvelous.
I was sort of hoping that buff little mite carrying the snail would make a second, more hulk-like appearance in the update
Awesome! Really want to make an ecosphere but dont know where to get started. U ever planning on making a guide?

I think the poop shooting worm is by far my favorite organism in this ecosphere...also, another great video...are you filming the organisms with the help of some short of super macro lens?
This is just insane. A completely different world like a parallel universe.
I like the snails. I had 2 as pets once, time ago.
I really really really wanna try this
How do you take care of the ecospheres? I imagine you can’t put it on a windowsill. I’d like to do one with my boys and watch it over the course of a year.

My favorite part is 0:00 to 10:54
