Coconut Palm

The Coconut Palm was by far the most common tree that I saw around the Island of oahu. It felt that I had to include this important species to my biodiversity project. I took this picture in Waikiki beach. I originally believed that this species was Veitchia Joannis a different member of the Palm (Family Arecaceae). However another member of the iNaturalist community suggested Cocos Nucifera the Coconut Palm. I agreed with the his suggestion.

Gulf Fritillary

While I was on vacation in Hawaii I went on the Makapu’u lighthouse trail hike and I was looking for different types of animals along the way. I was really trying to find something that was unique to the islands because it is the most remote chain of Islands in the world. When I came across this butterfly I immediately took out my phone because I really liked how it looked. I was supper excited with the picture I was able to take because it made Identifying it very easy. The Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis Vanillae) stem from the Brush-footed Butterflies (Family Nymphalidae) and the longwing (tribe Heliconiini).

Eastern Chipmunk

There is a lot of biodiversity on the hiking trail that I walk on but the one that I see the most often is the Eastern Chipmunk. While they are very common in my area they are very scared of humans and are very fast they often run away before I could even get me phone out. I finally was able to capture one as it was running back to its hole. Tamias Striatus its scientific name stems from the squirrel family (family Sciuridae) and the ground and African tree squirrel subfamily (Xerinae).

White-Tailed Deer

I was walking around on my hiking trail one morning and I came across a group of white-tailed deer and was excited to get a picture of them for the biodiversity project. I tried to get as close as possible to get a good picture to properly identify them later. As I got closer they scared off and I was unfortunately not able to get a clear picture before they did I was very disappointed because that was a species that I really wanted to include. A few weeks later on the same trail I came across another doe that stood in the middle of a long stretch of the trail and this time I didn’t make the same mistake and zoomed in as far as possible to get a good picture. Odocoileus Virginianus is its scientific name stems from the genus Odocoileus that includes similar species like the Mule deer.
