A new entry in our tiny creatures series -- a month or two ago our neighbors gave us a packet of 'Sea Monkeys' -- actually a species of tiny brine shrimp. These are quite easily the tiniest pets we've ever had and the tiniest living thing I've ever tried to photograph. They're positively microscopic at first, but now some of the biggest ones have grown to about the size of mosquitos. The top picture is a close-up I managed of one just as it turned to face me. This is probably about 100 or 200 times actual size.
