Biodiversity at Home

This assignment was a fun one for me because I have always known that there is wildlife in my backyard and my neighborhood, but I have not appreciated some of it. This gave me the chance to walk around my yard and just look at the nature. I took pictures of bugs or plants that were out of the ordinary and not landscaped into my yard. I even got a couple pictures of a lizard. Sadly, I did not get to see any of the really cool things like a snake or a coyote, but those only come around sometimes. The observations that I made were of things that I see in my yard on a regular basis. I think a place of low diversity is inside my actual house; we have screens and windows and doors, and we do not really keep plants or anything inside. There is the occasional small spider or fly, but nothing like there is outside. I found places of high diversity to be around the perimeter of our yard where we have the most plants and soil.

P.S. When I made my observations, I added them to the NatGeo project, but they did not add for some reason, so I am not really sure how that works. On the page, it says observations can only be contributed by certain people.
