The closed native terrarium has been blooming for 5 months. Take a look at the life that inhabits the terrarium ecosystem, from woodlice and earthworms to other insects.

Woodlice and springtails decompose organic matter and recycle the nutrients back into the soil. Plants grow and die and adapt to the conditions in the jar, and slugs break down those that don't adapt in time. Centipedes and harvestmen, the predators of the jar, hunt down and control the populations of the other inhabitants, with their own numbers held in perfect equilibrium with the creatures they consume.
