Plankton Portal Talk

TOP Plankton images of 2014

    Hi everybody!

    I've got an idea to look for the top plankton images which have appeared on the Talk during the previous year and share them with you all.
    There were quite a lot of amazing creatures and it wasn't easy to pick up just a few of them. I created a photomontage of the best ones so you can see them all in one single picture. Here they are.
