Finally got around to taking a photo (as promised in the last update, which is why this isn’t getting a whole number). It’s at the original size, by the way – no resizing, trimming, or color adjustments.

You can see the worm thing just above the shadow of the cable on the lower left. And the brownish spot a little left of center is one of the teeny snails. There’s new(ish) growth on the right, and plenty more at the top (most of which is just out of the image). You can also see a lot of leaves and stems turning brown and decaying, returning nutrients back to the muck.

One thing about the worm – I swear it pops up in slightly different places every now and then. I’d try and track it if I cared enough. By the way, I’ve had no luck identifying it. The only search results I get for “freshwater worms” (or similar terms) are parasites for fish – with more than enough icky photos…. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, let me know….

Photo after the jump:

Not moved to the windowsill, since I didn’t want to scare the worm into hiding. But I did use the flash on my phone
