Excercise #2- Five different taxa

  1. Mollusk- I found a garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum) under a tarp.
  2. Fungi- I found a few nice fungi examples at Joaquin Miller Park. My favorites are the Chicken of the Woods and the Lichen.
  3. Amphibian- I found this California Slender Salamander at Joaquin Miller also.
  4. Bird- On U.C. Berkeley Campus I got a nice shot of a American Robin.
  5. Arachnid- I have a bunch of small spiders in my back yard. I caught one and managed to get a slightly fuzzy picture (They're fast!). I thought they were Grass spiders but there has been a couple comments that say it is a Wolf Spider. I did not realize they hung out in such large groups.
