Photos / SoundsWhatWhite Peacock (Anartia jatrophae)Observerarsenault_m_10DescriptionVisual description of the organism:
Size: a little smaller than the size of my palm Coloration: The middle of the body is light in color, almost a gray-ish, translucent, light pastel types. Then the outline of the wings have multiple darker colors compared to the center of the butterfly. To me it looked like there was some orange, yellow, white, and black lines that separated the different colors throughout. There were also small black dots lining the middle of the wings (six in total). There are several characteristics I noticed about the organism that are defining characteristics of the taxonomic group to which it belongs to which would be Kingdom Animalia. One characteristic would be that it is a multicellular organism. It is also a heterotrophic organism (gather its own food). This organism also breathes oxygen. These are all characteristics that belong to the Kingdom Animalia. Reference:

Photos / SoundsWhatBasidiomycete Fungi (Phylum Basidiomycota)Observertuggle_c_010DescriptionThis organism is a fungi and the cap is round and it is an off white color. The stem of the mushroom is relatively long, it was close to the size of my pointer finger. The gills of the mushroom are sub distant and the reproductive spores are found in the gills. I knew that this organism was apart of the fungi kingdom, because a mushroom is automatically a fungi. Also, a characteristic of a fungi is that it reproduces from its spores, which mushroom do. This organism was found in the woods, located on the USF campus. This fungi is assumed to be an Amanita species, which are typically found in conifer and deciduous woodlands |

Photos / SoundsWhatBasidiomycete Fungi (Phylum Basidiomycota)Observerborja_m_10DescriptionThis fungi appears to be a Coprinellus. The shape consists of a round, oval cap and a skinny, short stem. The size is only about 1-1.5 inches long; it is short. The color of the outside of the cap is light brown/tan. The color of the inside of the cap and the stem is a beige. A characteristic seen in this observation are the gills of the mushroom (underneath the cap). These gills pictured produce microscopic spores. This organism was found in a habitat full of trees and grass. There are no building structures or poles, just grass and dirt. These organisms can be found in deciduous forests. They are common in Britain, Ireland, and North America. |

WhatAmerican Bumble Bee (Bombus pensylvanicus)Observeralani_m_10DescriptionThis organism was found in my backyard near some flowers, and it appears to be an American Bumble Bee, which is a protostome. It is about half an inch in length and has a couple yellow and black stripes, then a black color behind the wings. It created a loud buzzing noise as well. This species is very common in North America, and they are industrious pollinators.
