This small seed or an egg I found among Sphagnum magellanicum that was collected in Tamarack Fen. It measures 0.9mm x 0.5mm. What can it be? I have a vascular species list from the site.
An insect egg or a seed? See if you can find a micropyle, or look at the cells under a microscope, or see if you can make it germinate or hatch.
Seems a bit odd to see a intact soft fleshed fruit (is it soft fleshed?) this size still intact after the rigours of a winter in Ottawa.
Having a second examinaton I found that it is an Arthropoda, not a plant (see attached). I still wonder wheather someone could direct me to a similar forum for such creatures. Thanks!
I've moved this to the Natural History area - this would be a good place to post similar ID questions, too.
