This photo depicts the web of a funnel weaver spider. If you look closely, you can see that the hole that the funnel like web leads to is layered in sand and that there appears to be a black spec inside the tunnel (this is a termite that had just crawled up from inside the tunnel/tree. This is something that stuck out to me when I came back to this spot to check on the fungi I had discovered during my first blog.

This photo depicts a few tiny red fungi that I found in a section on the path that leads towards the island I am studying. The size of this fungi is about the size of a Q-Tip, however its bright color caught my eye immediately.

This photo depicts a green Sheild bug on the leaf of the blueberry plant that I investigated and sketched last blog. I looked to see if I could find more but that was the only one, I found, and I had not found any last blog so it may just be coincidence that it was there, but it was still cool nonetheless to see the blueberry plant being used not only for food but also in a sense for habitat.

This photo shows a bunch of moss and other greens growing on this decayed log. It caught my eye because I was not expecting to see something like moss growing on a decaying object, but after thinking more about it the decaying wood probably makes for a good fertilizer with nutrients.
Photo 5
This last photo shows a group of flowers that I found in a leafy area of the island. What boggles me is that all of these flowers grew and blossomed facing downwards. I have never seen this before and am so used to seeing flowers blossoming towards the direction of sunlight that I did not know what to think. it turns out that this a spotted wintergreen plant and that it is normal for the flowers to blossom downwards, however I could not find out why this is in my research.
