Nematode worms are some of the most abundant organisms on earth.There are hundreds of thousands of different types and living in so many different types of habitat. Many are parasitic on all forms of animal or plant life, others just live in rotting vegetation.they are everywhere and sometimes all it takes is a slight brushing of damp leaves on the forest floor to reveal some of these odd creatures.here are a few I found up in a tree where a large cat had sat(Puma ,leopard or lynx)and eaten its meal in North Devon.
Lower down on a dead piece of tree were colourful lichens.
When I opened up a capsicum pepper to eat, I found a small caterpillar munching away inside.I could have just eaten it along with the fruit but decided not too and observe it. No doubt it would have been nourishing,I put the cut half back on and placed it on the window sill.
