Geo-171-2014 Homework #2

My three iconic-taxa observed for homework assignment #2 consist of: a plant, mammal, and insect.

1) The plant I found is some kind of berry bush alongside Euclid st in Berkeley. Although I don't know the exact name of this plant, I am pretty positive it can be identified under the plants taxa.

2) The mammal I observed is one I see often, as they live and eat near my house in the North Berkeley Hills. I'm lucky enough that I can even wake up to the sound of their chewing through my window! Although I'm not positive what type of deer the one in my observation is, I am labeling it under the mammals taxa.

3) The Insect I found resembles some kind of tiny beetle or cricket, and was only about a centimeter long. It was resting underneath a rock I turned over. I'm classifying it under the Insect taxa.
