In this video we take a look at the Woodland Stream Ecosphere. It has been 5 months since it's creation and a lot has happened in that time frame. Some species seem to have gone extinct such as the larvae and nymphs. This was to be expected as their populations weren't sustainable.

The amphipod population has grown drastically in recent months due to a lack of predation. They do not eat their own young and seem to have taken the roll of apex predator within this ecosystem. I am uncertain if their population will be able to survive in such numbers long term and predict a decline in their population as they begin exhausting food sources.

A mystery organism seems to be established within this ecosphere. I'm uncertain on their species, but if you have any ideas please let me know down in the comments. They appear to be a communal species, which forms colonies on the plants within this ecosphere. They're capable of retracting their bodies and seem to be filter feeders.

I also noticed a unique looking species of flatworm within this ecosphere. They all seem to share a forked tail. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this so it was a very exciting discovery.
