All observations were made in Maastricht NL, of the local plants. One unique adaptation that the London Plane Tree has bark that appears camouflaged. This is because the bark breaks away in large chunks so that the tree can cleanse itself from pollutants (Venebles 2016).

Additionally, an adaptation that they all have in common is the presence of chlorophyll. While this adaptation occurred very early on, they all contain it and use it to photosynthesize.

The London Planetree's kingdom is plantae, family is Platanaceae, genus is Platanus, and its species is P. × acerifolia

The science name for the pillbug I picked is Armadillidium Vulgare, it is located in the Animalia Kingdom, Arthropoda Phylum, Crustacea Subphylum, Malacostraca Class, Peracarida Superorder, Isopoda Order, Oniscidea Suborder, Armadillidiidae Family, Armadillidium Genus on the phylogenetic tree.
One common adaptation among the species I picked is they all appear to be the colour of their habitat, but there are counter-examples such as the orange butterfly and white Black-crowned Night-Heron I observed in a mostly green environment. Even though there is no common structural adaptation among the species I observed as long as I know, there is one universal adaptation among all the animals, they all try to flee away from me as soon as they notice my presence. This behavioural adaptation can be adequately explained by natural selection, species that are not scared and flee from a threat are very likely to go extinct, over time all the animals in the wild will conduct the “fight or flight” response to a threat.
One unique adaptation I noticed is that the pill woodlouse has an exoskeleton (probably made of chitin) to guard itself. Moreover, it binds and forms a sphere when I try to pick it up. By do this, the bug has only its exoskeleton exposed to a threat. Pillbugs have developed complementary behavioural and structural to protect itself since they are pretty vulnerable to predators.

The phylogeny placement of the Downy Goldenrod (Solidago puberula) was under: cellular organisms; Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Streptophytina; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Euphyllophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; Mesangiospermae; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; asterids; campanulids; Asterales; Asteraceae; Asteroideae; Astereae; North American clade; Solidago
A unique observation of the Downy Goldenrod is that it can propagate by spreading underground rhizomes which can produce colonies of clones from a single plant.
Every species in our group project are (so far sept 24th) terrestrial species rather than aquatic species.

One unique adaptation in Cupha erymanthis which is the butterfly that I observed is the camouflage of their wings. The colour of their wings protects them from predators that feed on them such as birds and mammals. Their wings have similar colour or pattern as surrounding environment, which make their predator hard to search them.
Among my observation, one common adaptation is that both plants and animals that I observed are able to survive in terrestrial environment. Land plants were the first organism which it could be alive with their tissues exposed to the air, which enabled them live on land.
