The Haunted Mirco Aquarium

This assignment requires that I explain what I am doing.  Currently I have a micro-aquarium.  The title of this micro-aquarium was derived from the bases that the water sample was collected from Lynnhurst Cemetery, Knoxville, TN (N 36 01.357, W 83 55.7310).  The area of collection was of partial shade.  The aquarium consist of two microscope testing slides with an insert glued together that creates a mirco-aquarium. (See figure 1.) 

The initial setup of the aquarium included 33% of the liquid from the bottom of the collection, 33% of the liquid from the middle of collection and 33% of liquid from the top of the collection. 

Two native plants species were also added to the aquarium for the purposes of oxygen generation.  Plant A (left side - figure 1)is Amblestegium sp. Moss. Collection from: Natural spring. at Carters Mill Park, Carter Mill Road, Knox Co. TN. Partial shade exposure. N36 01.168 W83 42.832. 10/9/2011a. (McFarland 2011) and Plant B (right side - figure1) Utricularia gibba L. Flowering plant. A carnivous plant. Original material from south shore of Spain Lake (N 35o55 12.35" W088o20' 47.00),

Upon initial inspection of the assembly of the aquarium - it was observed that one mosquito larvae was collected as well one Cyclops.
