Mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) by Solvin Zankl

Immediately after hatching from their aquatic larval skin the subadult male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) flies towards the river bank to land on a leaf. Here it will undergo its last moult, before it is going to mate and dy, all within only a few hours. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.


About half an hour after the male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) hatched the first females appear on the water sruface. Unlike the males the female long-tailed mayflies are already mature when they emerge. Every female, like the one in the foreground recognisable by its shorter tails, is approached by several mature males. Eventually the female mates with one of them on the water surface. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.

By picking out the spines of sea urchins from the sand sample from Raja Ampat, Indonesia, the wide range of colours of these animals become visible. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


Threads of protoplasma by foraminifera (Sagenina frondescens) on a piece of sea shell with agglutinated sand particles. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


Within the diverse shapes of calcaeous particles there are spicules which served as structural elements and to a certain degree as a deterrent of predators in soft corals. After the die-off of the soft coral the spicules become a fraction of the sediment and therefore also of the sandy beaches. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


Opercula of Rough Turbo snail (Bolma rugosa). "Eye of Santa Lucia". An operculum is the calcarous lid attached to the foot of a snail. It enables the animal to completely close its shell. Diagonal of frame approx 8 mm

The white carbonate sand from Raja Ampat, Indonesia, is generated by a vast diversity of organisms: e.g. foraminifera, coralline algae, sponges, brachiopods, echinoderms, bryozoa and mollusks. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


Spines of Echinoderms, found in the sand from Raja Ampat, Inodesia, come in many colours and shapes. If they are well preserved they can be recognised by their typical rounded end that formed the flexible joint with the exo sceleton of the living animal. These spines come from sea urchins and brittle stars (Ophiuridae). Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


Two beauties of different kinds: the shells of the minute sea snail (Schwartziella ephamilla, top) and the wentletraps (Cycloscala hyalina, below) barely remained unbroken between the rough company of sand grains. Raja Ampat, Indonesien. Diagonal of frame approx. 2 mm


Spicules that once have had stabilising and predator deterring functions in sponges can frequently be found in the sand from Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 4 mm

This handful of white sand from a beach in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, consists to a large extent of biogenous calcareous particles. Thus upon closer examination many grains reveal their previous lifes as skeletal parts of small animals or even plants.


A variety of tests from foraminiferes from a sand sample collected in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The shells come from pelagic as well as bottom dwelling species that settle on sand, seagrass or coral reefs. (Clavulina multicamerata, Operculina ammonoides, Amphistegina radiata, Neoeponides repandus, Baculogypsina sphaerulata, Septotextularia rugosa, Heterostegina depressa, Calcarina spengleri, Quinqueloculina seminula, Celanthus sp., Sorites orbiculus, Massilina granulocostata, Globigerinoides sp., Spiroloculina sp., Calcarina mayori, Sahulia conica, Peneroplis planatus). Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm


The tiny shells of the minute sea snail (Schwartziella ephamilla) remained intact between all the other grains of the sand. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 2 mm


7x Baculogypsina sphaerulata, 5x Calcarina mayori. Shells (socalled tests) of foraminifera from the order Rotaliida. In the living animal the spiny processes hold protoplasma filaments which enables the foraminifere to trap its microscopic prey.


Foraminifera shells from sample of calcareous sand: Peneroplis planatus. The shell (test) has numerous holes through that the net of pseudopods emerges. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 3 mm
