White Beggarticks (Bidens alba)Observer
christianmaugeeDescription
The plant seen growing in this photo was spotted growing on the ground next to a tree in a forest environment. The plant was growing alone, but other plants of the same species could be seen scattered around it. This species was identified thanks to the color of the flower, the amount of petals on the flower (6), its bilateral symmetry, and the body of the plant itself (1-2ft tall) along with oppositely arranged leaves. https://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v3/eafrinet/weeds/key/weeds/Media/Html/Bidens_pilosa_(Blackjack).htm

carrollbDescription
Habitat: Shady, wooded area, near a swamp.
Weather: 31.1℃, sunny
According to http://ufwildlife.ifas.ufl.edu/frogs/pinewoodstreefrog.shtml , this is a juvenile pine woods tree frog. They are similar in that they have the "bandit marking" around their eyes and they are usually brown or grayish. They tend to develop random blotches along their backs when they become older and they also are very small in size; typically only growing to be 1.5 inches long.

Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)Observer
christianmaugeeDescription
This scary hornet was seen flying around me and landed shortly on a wooden railing in a woodland natural park. This hornet was flying alone and was observed on a 84 degree partly cloudy, day. This hornet was identifiable because it has distinctive white markings on its thorax and abdomen along with its characteristic white bald face.

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens)Observer
collintripp1Description
Taken around 6:00 PM at Lettuce Lake Park along the pathways among large trees. Found densely throughout the entirety of the park
These plants grow to about 7 feet, and are much alike dwarf palmettos, but have razor leaves, that can make areas impossible to go through. This is the plant that constantly made paths through Lettuce Lake Park because of its sharp leaves. It also matches the size and description.

Bumblebee Millipede (Anadenobolus monilicornis)Observer
parisdDescription
This protostome, with its abundance of legs and long, grey body, was found scurrying along the floor of a shoe store, Fit Niche of the Wiregrass Mall. The origin of this bug is unknown, but the employees suspect there is a hidden nest somewhere inside the store. When I was too close to the bug trying to get my phone to zoom in better, the bug curled up into a ball. The temperature in the store is kept at 71-degrees Fahrenheit.
