I’m very sorry to tell you ladies that this article is yelling you BS.
#Sphagnum moss is not different from #peat moss! It’s exactly that.

Great piece on climate doomerism. I am somewhat missing the realism in it. You look at the two extremes in the story, but leave out the vast majority of realists that do/believe/spread/act on the existing science for more than half a century and yet the curve is rising more steeply than ever 🤷🏻‍♀️

🥺🙏 Das tut mir so Leid für dich! Die stetige Eco-anxiety verbraucht bereits enorme Energie, und bei Dir kommt der Kampf gegen solche Windmühlen auch noch dazu. Bitte mach weiter! Deine Posts sind so gut, wir brauchen deine klaren Worte! Ich hoffe es hilft dir zu teilen 🦋🫶

Why they’re important:
• Chironomids are key indicators of water quality.
• They play a vital role in the aquatic food chain, serving as food for fish and amphibians.
• Their tubes help stabilize sediment and recycle nutrients.

• Clustered formations: Often densely packed, as in your photo.
• Aquatic environment: Found in wet, peaty, or muddy areas with high organic content.

These larvae (often called non-biting midges) are very common in wetland environments, including peatlands, bogs, and marshes.
Here’s how you can recognize them:
• Tube-like structures: Made from sediment, detritus, and sometimes silk secreted by the larvae.

I was intrigued by your photo and thought about the worms in wadden sea. However they make different tubes and eventually I asked AI about it 😬 here is what it said:

The small tubes in the peat of a peatland are most likely made by Chironomid midge larvae tubes.
