The Trichia Decipiens, also known as Salmon-Eggs due to its close appearance to the fishes eggs, is a species of fungi which commonly lives on moist rotting trunks (Barrionuevo, n.d.). It has a very complex and interesting lifestyle which changes based on the environment (Barrionuevo, n.d.). Usually throughout the year, the Trichia Decipiens lives simply as cells which gains its nutrients from bacteria, yeasts and other small organisms (Barrionuevo, n.d.). What's interesting is that these cells are always mobile and change their form of transportation as conditions change (Barrionuevo, n.d.). When in humidity they show a flagellate form and when the humidity is low, it crawls using amoeboid form (Barrionuevo, n.d.). If neither is conditions is present and the Trichia Decipiens is in a drought condition, they reduce their activity and rend their surface rigid, until conditions become more favorable - almost like hibernation! (Barrionuevo, n.d.).

The observation that I will be taking to locate on a phylogenic tree using OneZoom is the Ragweed Flower Moth, also known as Schinia Rivulosa. As the name suggests it is part of the Schinia group which comprises of 125 different species that are closely related to the Aspila group and branches off the Heliothinae group (all moths).

One adaptation that all of my observed species have in common is that they all have an exoskeleton which is a common characteristic shared by numerous insects in the place of an actual skeleton and is essential to their survival.

One unique adaptation that one of my observed species have is the bright colors on the Eastern Yellow Jacket. Compared to my other observations with their darker colors and less eye-catching patterns, the bee observed has a striking eye-catching color and pattern distinctive of its species.
