<p>Flour beetles! We have them in the lab too.. Physarum can double in around 10 hours once it's got going. In the 'wild' - terrarium or in a sparsley fed dish they'll frequently split - and join up again but kept fed I routinely bulk them up to 1/4 Square meter and did a full square meter once. </p>
<p>I've been wondering about a slime tattoo... </p>

I found out about you from SYSK this week, and I'm so excited to learn more! I previously spent years working in the Melbourne lab at the University of Colorado which uses Tribolium flour beetles as a model organism to study population dynamics, stochasticity, and invasive species spread. Now, I work as a tattoo artist in Denver, Colorado. I am very curious about slime molds, and have numerous questions about them- how quickly can they gain mass? At a certain size, would something trigger them…

At a certain size, would something trigger them split into multiple colonies (not sure if that's the correct terminology)? I also find them strangely beautiful and think they could make some interesting abstract tattoo designs.
