  • Human saliva displaying ferning. During the fertile phase of a woman's menstrual cycle an oestrogen surge causes salt crystals to appear in the saliva. When viewed under the microscope the crystalline salt structure resembles fern leaves and can be used as an indication of a woman's increased chances of conceiving at this time.

  • Ragworms are segmented worms with long, flattened bodies, consisting of many segments. Each segment has a pair of parapods, or swimming legs. At the head end (shown in ths image) they have a toothed proboscis, four eyes, and two pairs of antennae. Ragworms are found predominantly in muddy shorelines and often used as fishing bait. They can live up to 3 years. Some species are considered an active predator, sifting through the mud and sand for small ocean creatures, others exist as scavengers.
