In this wonder blog I noticed that a lot of the plants seemed to have more color than last time, and also, I noticed that the water level had risen and that there appeared to be new areas with erosion. I also noticed that there were a lot of burrows under logs and in trees. I don’t know if these were there before and had just been missed, or if they were created/updated to survive the rainstorms, thus making them stand out more. One really interesting thing that I found was a burrow in a tree that looked like it had termites coming in and out of. What made this find interesting however was the fact that there seemed to be some sort of silk web funnel leading into the burrow. I do not know what the purpose of this is, and if it was made by the species habituating inside the tree, or a potential predator hunting these termites, or is it possible that these termites live in tandem with whatever else potentially made this web? This is something that I am definitely going to check back up on when I go back for my next blog.
