A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
On a simpler note, I would suspect this might be Beech.
I love how you captured this profile. It gives such a sense of personality. Great photo!
Fantastic shot.
Wonderful to see you trying out a new way to teach. Isn't it awesome your students can do some meaningful work here as citizen scientists?
Keys for quick and easy effective submissions for you and your students: take a close up of a key part (you did that here), take a picture of the whole in its environment, and include estimated sizes in the description. The more you/they describe, the better. A little time on here and you'll have those kids really learning to think and observe like scientists. Kudos to you!
When you upload the picture, it is possible to zoom in on what you want to show. Perhaps you could edit your photo here? It is difficult to know what you are identifying among the multiple samples...
Looks a lot like the brown recluse we get here in North America, except much more yellow.
Exactly what we needed to know. Thank you.
Absolutely. Thanks for the suggestion, Emily.
I apologize: after looking up the mission specifics, I realize you are outside the mission radius. Sorry to trouble you.
You have a really cool find, though. :)
