Pale green lichens in the foreground surrounded by bright green mosses and liverworts and a few more scattered pale green lichens. A dark coloured lichen in the background with reddish brown apothecia which are held upright. Scattered brown leaves also.

The same picture except the dark lichen in the background is in focus.

At least two, but I think three, #Cladonia species in the foreground and Peltigera hymenina in the background. #Lichen

This bat is very rare! It’s been captured a few of times, but after the 5th time, the species was put in the genus ‘Niumbaha’, named after the Zande word for ‘rare’. However, it is now part of the genus ‘Glauconycteris’

Pale green lichen with black apothecia growing on rock that has a rusty colour and surrounded by moss which is green and purple at the top of the picture and purple coloured to the bottom left of the picture. A tiny grey invertebrate is on the bottom left of the lichen between the bottom two black apothecia and the purple moss.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #small is relative. Small lichen surrounded by moss, with a teeny, tiny invertebrate on the lower left of the picture. I think it’s a springtail.
