Oo, oo, oo!, I just thought!
You've heard of flea circuses!?!
Let's figure their natural abilities, and create a WATERBEAR CIRCUS !!!!
REALLY low overhead, mainly all you need is a microscope and camera, and tripod!

lol!

they are very common and easy to find. Find some moss wet it down, take a sample and look under the microscope.

how strong a microscope

@squiggy_70 here's a method
[microscopy-uk.org.uk]
you only need 15 to 30X. They are quite big relatively speaking.

@Lukian really? hmm do they die on our faces? they never die they must die some time. if not we should study them for the secret of longevity

@squiggy_70 Like I pointed out, the micro organisms on out face are not Tardigrades. As to how they die or not, I dunno.

@Lukian I found this:

@EllenDale there is the no poo connection. Nice find.

@Lukian Thanks. And true...until they die. Makes you think twice about licking someone`s face, doesn't it? Ewww.

@EllenDale they are not a parasite. I consider them part of the skins microflora. That said, I don't usually lick someones face. Lol!

these creatures can survive in space. there is a species living on our faces with no anus. it dies by rupturing on your face.

Now I certainly didn't need to know THAT!!!!

@njoy_life_2 oops lol

not sure those micro animals on our face are tardigrades

@LeighShelton and @Lukian see:

[bbc.com]
