Stromatolites are layered rocks produced by the growth of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). The cyanobacteria form a sticky mat to which sediment adheres, and as sediment builds up, the bacterial mat grows up through it, forming layer upon layer, and often developing into a series of mounds.

Looking down at a large rock with bulbous bubble-like shapes covering the top surface.

Stromatolites viewed in cross section in a cliff wall at Clearwater Lake, showing the layered structure within. The rock showing between the moss has ripple-like patterns across it.

The American Black Currant has smooth, small, and reddish-purple to black berries. Gooseberries and currants are both in the "Ribes" genus, but to see the difference, look if there are spines, thorns, or prickles. If so, it’s a gooseberry, but if not, then it's a currant! #WildflowerWednesday

For some insects, looking sharp is a matter of life or death! Many species in the group of insects known as treehoppers (family Membracidae) have large protrusions of their exoskeletons. They resemble thorns when paused to feed on plant stems, which can be a deterrent to would-be predators.

Have you ever seen this strange animal while out critter dipping? Beetles of the genus Dytiscus are large insects that can be found in ponds and wetlands here in Manitoba. The long and slender larvae look quite different from the big, round adults, but both are formidable underwater predators!

A side view of the larval form of a Dytiscus beetle against a white background. The head (on the right), legs, tip of the abdomen (on the left) are orange, while the rest of the body is black. Three pairs of legs are present on the underside of the body, and a pair of large mandibles is at the front of the head. The specimen is approximately 6 cm long.
