I thought about collecting some moss last year by my office to look for these critters. I do have a patch of nostoc/cyanobacteria/star jelly I am growing - there might be some in there?

Fun to watch until you realize these things will probably outlive us all…

There might be some in there, OR, you could collect some in moss or lichen and keep them alive by feeding them your cyanobacteria! 
I collected mine on my balcony, of all places!

Wait, what am I feeding to my cyanobacteria?
If you want a sample I got some petri dishes and googly eyes. I call them Blobbies. PROBABLY not aliens.
