Nature observation

For this naturalistic observation I was right outside of Olin hall along the sidewalk. I thought it would be a good idea to do the observation there because whenever I walk in I always seem to notice some type of bug while I’m walking. I noticed a lot of different bugs and organisms while I was observing. The weather when I did it was around 62 degrees Fahrenheit, I went late at night so it was somewhat dark but I used my flashlight to be able to see the ground and the bugs around me. I chose to go later at night because not many people would be walking around and distracting me while I was trying to find the bugs. Some of the details of the organisms I found out with the Ring-legged Earwig was how fast it was, I actually struggled getting a photo of it because of how quickly it moved while I was trying to take a picture. Another thing that I thought was really interesting was I got to see a moth carry a Lady beetle. I thought that part was really cool to watch it carry it. A personal reflection from last night, I actually enjoyed this homework. I thought it was cool to see what type of bugs were around the dorm that I live in and I got to see where they came from before. I think that going at night was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I felt like I was able to focus a lot better rather than me going in the day. I think I will be able to see a different change in bugs as time goes on throughout this block and see some new things.
