If we consider the lifespan of a springtail to be of 12 months, and the timespan of the terrarium to be of 72 months (6 years), and that a springtail starts reproducing at 2 months old, the terrarium's springtails have been through 36 generations. If we consider that a new human generation is born every 25 years, the springtail's time within the terrarium would be equivalent to 900 human years. They're approaching a springtail's millennium already.
@@artemkortsev8279 That does make sense, yes. I just used the average the internet provided me with. Also, as a fun test, I did the calculations for my own family tree; I can trace forebears on my father's side back to 1768. Given that I was born in 1999, that gives me 231 years with 9 generations total, averaging at 25.6 years per generation. On my mother's side I can trace back to 1845 with 6 generations, averaging also at 25.6 years per generation (which is pretty neat, in my opinion).
In 2016 my mom bought a cheap terrarium that was an sale for a few cents. It said to put a certain amount of water inside and than close it with a cork. There was a tiny plant inside, a bit of moss, stones and some dirt. My mom was sure that everything inside would die within a few days. But today it's still going strong! Every year it looks a bit diferent since there is a pink plant inside

That's so cool. We made some in science class in high school and then went on Christmas break. When we came back, mine was the only one that was flourishing. The ONLY reason mine survived was because i put a few bugs in that i had found on the plants when I planted them. It was awesome!

@Daeneiracorn It's sad how many people look at their own species as parasitic. Humans are beautiful creatures who are the earth's most impressive form of life. That metric is due to the fact that humans will be the only earthly lifeform that can expand beyond the planets atmosphere by its own will. Simply amazing creatures.... But let's forget all of that because other lifeforms are dying because of our actions.... just like all lifeforms have done to one another since the beginning of time 🙄
👍🤩💡Springtails, also known as snow fleas, are small hexapods that utilize a protein in their body that allows them to survive harsh winter temperatures. These tiny critters are actually not fleas but get their unique nick name from their ability to jump from place to place, an action similar to that of fleas.

I did this but only used a handful of soil, it’s mostly weeds and springtails but it’s pretty cool. I added a bit more water after 18 months due to losses through the cork.

How big of a beetle can live in one of these self sustaining bottles? I feel like they might need more oxygen than the plants can keep up with producing?
If it's gone strong for 6 years it has achieved some kind of dynamic equilibrium. Obviously those springtails are only the latest of many, many generations that would have lived in that bottle, so you can infer that every generation at least a few manage to survive and reproduce.
I think it's more about food than oxygen. If the terrarium is too small for the amount of beetles, the beetle population will eat all plants and die. Roughly you can accomodate herbivores that weigh 10% of the plant mass (and again predators that weigh together 10% of their prey). And the population should be at least some dozens to stay healthy.
the amount of air insects use is really small, so a plant like this could probably keep them alive for a while. the real issue comes with actually keeping multiple generations of that bug going. insects, once reaching adulthood, never last very long. if you want to keep beetles in a terrarium you need a decently large ecosystem which can supply needed resources for a decently large amount of beetles to keep multiple generatons going

I have one that's been shut for 2-3 years now! Whenever i made it i never realized there was a snail in it and he's still thriving in there! There's also small fruit flies that just seem to kinda spawn in so im pretty sure that and growth in the walls is what he's feeding on? Either way he's doing great
I have two I made in 2017 that I haven’t opened since! They both have a few diff small plants in there - orchids, ferns & other plants & they are completely content. Good trick is to put a couple bits of charcoal in there for oxygenating & never get tempted to crack the lid and poke around. Lol
there is oxygen. there is an oxygen cycle. the bugs inside produce the Co2, while the plants take that to produce the oxygen. the bugs also reproduce inside, to have more kids, which then breathe the oxygen. the water inside is also recycled. the entire system is sealed tightly. as such, it's an entirely closed system. this is very difficult to do though. cause it requires a lot of balance between the various factors. (also, if you mess with the temperature around it. it will also mess with the system. so you need to have it in a perfect area)

Nothing special. People in germany have these kind of sealed bottles in the size of big whine bottles since i can think. My sister has one that is 30 years old.

Glad you could clear up your depression mine is life long and simply cleaning something doesn't get rid of it
Bro, this terrarium lasted longer than Thanos’s retirement plan.
This comment is underrated.
This comment is underrated.
This comment is underrated train?🧐
This comment is correctly rated cause it fucking sucks
I have one that's been shut for 2-3 years now! Whenever i made it i never realized there was a snail in it and he's still thriving in there! There's also small fruit flies that just seem to kinda spawn in so im pretty sure that and growth in the walls is what he's feeding on? Either way he's doing great
bro just created a whole religion for those springtails
i can't believe 2018 was 6 years ago
I have two I made in 2017 that I haven’t opened since! They both have a few diff small plants in there - orchids, ferns & other plants & they are completely content.
Good trick is to put a couple bits of charcoal in there for oxygenating & never get tempted to crack the lid and poke around. Lol
Are they completely sealed? How are the plants getting co2?
The bacteria in the soil and plants and tiny bugs within terrariums all release Co2 when they breathe @@heyzoocifer1392
lil fern missed everything 😭🙏
Something tells me that glass is going to crack one day
Hopefully the glass is stronger than the cork so it'll just pop the cork out
@@JamesThomas-kx5sj all kinds of pressure
I wouldn’t mind being a little bug in there. Infinite food, no predators. And it looks so comfy.
Would love to see a timelapse of this sort of thing.
This man is making a new species. I wouldn't be surprised if scientists discover 57 new animals that transcend reality when looking at his terrariums
I think this is my sign to make a terrarium
Fascinating
It looks cool
Without oxygen how it's possible 😮😮
there is oxygen.
there is an oxygen cycle. the bugs inside produce the Co2, while the plants take that to produce the oxygen. the bugs also reproduce inside, to have more kids, which then breathe the oxygen. the water inside is also recycled.
the entire system is sealed tightly. as such, it's an entirely closed system. this is very difficult to do though. cause it requires a lot of balance between the various factors.
(also, if you mess with the temperature around it. it will also mess with the system. so you need to have it in a perfect area)
Springtails actually are necesary for the plants to survive because they feed on the mold that would kill it if left unchecked.
I love terrariums. Gosh I miss all the plants and bugs we used to have the world was so full of life back in the 70's
Group 3 is me hahaha 😭😭 i was thinking that the whole time!! Always love your readings, thank you 💗💗 hope you're doing well, wishing you good luck !
They’ll be driving tiny flying cars soon.
Scary to think that we might also be just a part of someone's terrarium 💀💀
We are. That someone is the universe.
@@ub-4630 nahhh universe is the terrarium but we don't know whose....??
I was not expecting "6 years ago" to be 2018 damn I feel old
0:31 he looks like john cena after 3 years on estrogen
I'm from the future, my people evolved from that flask. Thank you my lord.
This is Magic in a Bottle. 😃

In 5 years.. the plant have seen birth, growth, war for the position and monster apocalypse. 💀
Starting to think we humans only know what we know because we're in a terrarium as well. 🤯
A very special item. It's great that it's still continuing so well.
MICHAEL DONT LEAVE ME HERE. (bang) (bang) (bang) MICHAEL!!!!
Bro i was born in feb 7 2012 yippee im older than that (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
This was made on February 16th 2018
Now command the inhabitants to construct a statue with your likeness, so they can pray to the creator. Let the sacrifices BEGIN!!!!!
This experiment starts on my birthday and I also love ferns :)
Perhaps they were living dormant in the soil 🤷♀️
I just realized, 2018 is over half a decade ago
The bugs that live in there don't know what's going on outside. Imagine if we are just a part of an experiment that some gigantic being is doing. We can't know if the univers is not just a "micro ecosystem" for someone
I rest my case, certain bugs literally just spawn in certain areas. 💀
Nothing special.
People in germany have these kind of sealed bottles in the size of big whine bottles since i can think. My sister has one that is 30 years old.
I made a mini ecosystem in a terrarium when I was 12 (unintentionally). I was trying to make a "home" for a salamander my mom found. I just put soil/grass from my back yard into it & covered it with plastic wrap. I even transplanted morel mushrooms into it & they continued growing. It was a great little experiment.
Is it still going?
@kubakielbasa5987 no, that was 30 years ago, lol.
