Journal Entry Lab 2

One unique adaptation of the Genus Philodromus is the fact that they have long legs, which allows them to more easily pursue their prey. Interestingly enough, the leg II is longer than the others, for what reason, I do not know. Because I did both insects and plants, I do not think that there is an adaptation that all species will have in common so I will state to different ones. For the insects, I noted that they are all towards the darker color, even if they have slight highlights in other colors. I wonder if that is because we were viewing these animals somewhat in the forest. For the plants, a similarity between them all is the fact that they all have a better reproduction rate because of their use of pollen. A phylogeny placement that I found was for the Eastern Hornet Fly, which stems from the Hornet family.
