During the observation for iNaturalist, I have found many interesting insects and flowers that are either native or foreign species, living in the Royal-Mount ecosystem. There was a unique characteristic of a species that I have observed, which stood out to be an adaptation to the environment. I have discovered a yellow flower that grow along with the hill (which is an inclination). Most of the flowers that I had discovered were growing vertically, rather than horizontally. This specific characteristic might be an adaptation of the Royal-Mount area where people like to sit on the lawn.
One common adaptation which is among all of my observation is the adaptation to attract or pollinate each other. Flowers that I had observed all have scent that are “attractive”. At the same time, the insects that I have observed have wings and dry trunk that are suitable for pollination.
One of my observation is an insect with metallic-colored body and wings. According to One Zoom, the phylogeny placement is from all life category to Archaea and Eukaryotes, Eukaryotes, Animal Fungi and more, Animals, Bilaterally symmetrical animals, Protostomes, Crustaceans and Insects, Mandibulate, Hexapods, Insects, Winged Insects, Modern wing-folding insects, Insects with complete metamorphosis, Beetles, Leaf beetles rove beetles, scarab beetles longhorn beetles snout beetles etc., Long horn beetles, and tortoise beetle.
