The Moss Diorama

A cushion of moss cut from paper, layer by layer, like a shadow-box. Move the pointer (or tilt your phone) to look between the layers. Tardigrades live in the film of water on the leaves; when the moss dries they curl into tuns. Tap a tardigrade to see where it lives.

LIT limno-terrestrial tardigrades live in the water film of mosses and lichens; they are active only when wet and survive drying as tuns; diatoms and other algae grow on moss surfaces. INVENTED the named residents (from the Fortress cast). ANALOGY the papercut scale. Self-check: every layer is drawn once, in depth order, and every resident sits inside a layer. ← SaPpH{{i}}on
