City Nature Challenge (4)

  • During this bioblitz I explored around campus. I did a mile loop around central, and colchester street where I saw many different plants and animals.
  • my experience using iNaturalist was fun!! I really enjoyed making the posts and observations, and I liked how helpful the app was on identifying things! I also love that making observations can help me later on if I find a similar species and want to compare.
  • I encountered three types of plant species and two animal species (I didn’t include the squirrel)
  • I looked at Hong Kong’s report. They had some really cool species reported. One I saw was the African Giant Snail that had 106 observations. The most observed species was the Eurasian Tree Sparrow with 181 observations. One of the least observed species was the Leucauge Tessellata (type of spider) with 8 observations. I loved looking at all the different species that Hong Kong has that we don’t have here. It was also interesting to see the species that we have in common, or species that I recognize.
