Daily challenges!!! How the heck could anyone get all of these?!?
Challenges – for these, if you want to, ‘tag’ me (write @sambiology) somewhere on the observation – either in the notes or the comments, so I can see it!
Sunday, September 5
Observe some mammal tracks
- extra challenge: observe tracks or evidence of an organism that’s an insectivore
Monday, September 6
Make an observation of a species, and then look up the meaning of the scientific name (translate the Latin, look up the namesake of the species, or find out where the scientific name comes from).
- extra challenge: find two more organisms that are named after famous botanists. How many organisms can you find that are named after famous naturalists?

Purple insects? Red, white, and blue insects? But if anyone wants to up their invasives count on Saturday, message me!
How judgy are you going to get on the purple insect thing? Because I have one in mind but it might not be PURPLE purple....providing I can even get a photo of what I'm thinking of.
Haha! ;) I will be fairly lenient on the shades of colors. ;) Lightish pinkish with gray is purple enough. ;) OR! Perhaps a bug that you can zoom in and see a touch of purple! :)
We found plenty for today's challenge at LLELA - Jennifer Linde has an awesome 'extra challenge' to share!
I hope the black wasps are out and about and it is sunny so they will flash purple!!!
Sam, I am back in business! They emailed today and all is good...so glad - entering one at a time on my iPad was getting a little old...thanks for directing me. Take Care, Mary
Sounds fun! I'll be able to participate for a few of the days listed. thanks for the challenge
