Rearing a pair of Woolly Bear caterpillars.
I have taken to rearing a couple Woolly Bear caterpillars ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrharctia_isabella ) and Wilbur The Woolly Bear ( or Wilma, they are sort of hard to tell apart hehe ) and I would love to say hello to all of our new friends !

Adventures In FerroFluid
This black stuff is called ferrofluid . Ferrofluid is pretty much nano particles of magnetic material suspended in a carrier fluid and a surfactant to keep it from getting clumpy.
