The little light purple flowers caught my eye while I was walking to the Arboretum. There was a little patch of them in the grass, some fully bloomed and some just blooming. On the white pedals there are tiny little purple specks.

The leaves had a waxy texture, a slightly rough edge, and a reddish tint. The plant was about 7 inches tall, with the leaves only being an inch and a half to two inches long. It was growing under some woody bushes. The plant was growing in a sunnier area compared to the rest of the woods, and had drier soil.

This insect was seen in the arboretum. I only saw it once when I was there. It looked almost like a spider when looking at its legs. It’s characteristics are similar to the Eastern Subterranean Termite

Small red berries, very vibrant in a light exposed area. Harvested many small bugs towards the bottom of the stems. Low laying towards the ground, berries grow on long vines with small green leaves. Surrounded by many weeds in a insect populated green area. The berries were round and smooth and clearly are a resource for certain animals because there are many insects all around. These berries grew on long stems and were in a very intense, sunny area surrounded by thick, green shrubbery.

These gnats are about half a centimeter long. They are in a large group which means they must be interacting. These gnats were in an area that uses no pesticides and has lots of grass. The species name for them is Infraorder Bibionomorpha.
