The weather was 29°C, and it was mostly cloudy. I found the ant at flatwoods park. The ant was near a lot of plants and trees. It was small and red with a black rear end. I think it is a Florida carpenter ant (Camponotus floridanus),because it is visually similar, and they are found in Florida. I referred to the bug guide to help confirm my observation, and the website helps indicate that my observation was correct.

When looking at The Field Guide to Common Macrofungi in Eastern Forests (https://www.fs.fed.us/nrs/pubs/gtr/gtr_nrs79.pdf) the images appear close to the fungi observed. It is located on a tree that has similar structure to the tree found here. Also, there is a white rim around the edge of the fungi which appears on the Ganoderma observed on the website. The one found in the website appears to be more brown in color while this one seems more red. They are most likely in the same family but maybe not the same exact species. However, they both form in the same kinds of environments with somewhat shady forests and trees that may be rotting.
This picture was taken on an Iphone 6s.
Observed on 10/6/18 at 10:04AM
Weather: approximately 79 degrees F, clear skies, warm and sunny, slight breeze, no rain
Habitat: in a county park, near a road, surrounded by other plants and wildlife, half shaded at the time of observation
Original ID: Juniperus virginiana, based on the description and pictures from http://www.southeasternflora.com/view_flora.php?plantid=417#; tall tree with branches in a cone shape around the trunk, green needles that are slightly larger at the ends
This tiny spider was seen sitting on a pole in a playground located within a natural woodland habitat park. This observation was taken after a short rainfall on a 83 degree Fahrenheit partly cloudy day. The lonesome spider was identified because of its size, color (tiger like marking on the legs and abdomen), anatomical limb proportions, and it’s location (being within the state of Florida).

This Moss was seen growing on a log found in a woodland habitat. The Moss was covering the entirety of the log that was above ground and was also seen growing on nearby logs. This observation was taken on a partly cloudy 86 degree Fahrenheit day. It was identified thanks to the leaf structure as apex apiculate and bright light green color of the Moss.
