Habitat: A leaf on the tree in my cousins backyard.
It was a hot day of the long weekend.
Slimy to touch.
They were able to fly.

Gourds (Genus Cucurbita)Observer
juliapasseriDescription
This flower, was blooming off of a garbage disposal fence at my work!
I stopped and had to take a picture.
From what I could tell, it grew from a stem, off the ground.
The Number of Petals: 5
Yellow Color.
Size: You can judge how big it is by looking at the little ant inside of it.
I purposely put the ant inside of the flower for the picture to actually compare sizes.
It also has a bit of resemblance to that of a zucchini flower plant based on the colour and texture.

Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)Observer
juliapasseriDescription
This squirrel I noticed on campus, was the only squirrel that didn't run away when I came close to it.I found it near a bunch of bushes.
When doing my research I found it quite difficult to distinguish what type of squirrel it was.
The squirrel was eating the rotten apples on the floor.
Typically, it was in a tree.
The belly of the squirrel was reddish brown, and the tail of the squirrel is thick. This made me think that it was a fox squirrel.
Eastern grey squirrels have grey but can have brownish fur.
Tail: Large, Bushy, White texture around it.
It was hunting for prey/food.

It was soft to touch, with a yellow and white touch to it.
The Growth: Spreads.
Habitat: The midst of a park/forest

Suborder AgaricineaeObserver
juliapasseriDescription
Was on a hike in my-near neighbourhood at Boyd Conversation Park. I zoomed in on the picture. It's white with no other colours, and seems almost furry to the touch. The stem is short and thick.
The habitat: Was in the ground of the woods/trails. So there were multiple trees, soil and leaves surrounding the mushroom. But it is as twice the size of a small acorn (As you can see in the picture itself).

Cross Orbweaver (Araneus diadematus)Observer
juliapasseriDescription
This is the one and only closest picture I got given my fear of spiders.It was located right outside my front door! Im not quite sure what category it falls under, hence why I kept it broad. The spider has eight legs, and no antennas which distinguishes it from the insect category.
Part of me thinks that this could be a cross orb weaver spider.
