Cognitive Surplus Microbiology: Stentor Washi Tape* Washi Tape | Ornithology

Here’s a lively blue washi tape that celebrates some heroes of the microscopic world – stentor!

Brought to our attention a few years ago by then graduate student Athena Lin, these tiny creatures have some incredible regenerative properties (her team was able to slice them up into 64 pieces and they recover)! Stentor are often preyed upon by aquatic bugs and baby fish, and if a fish eats too many stentor, their eggs can turn purple! We think they’re also some pretty elegant looking little microorganisms. These images of stentor were taken by and used with permission from Athena Lin.

This decorative paper masking tape is perfect for livening up your everyday creations. Decorate your bullet journal or notebook, or use it to wrap packages! Each roll is 15 mm (.6″) wide by 10 m (32’9″) long, so you’ll have plenty for all your projects.
