Nature Walk on November 25, 2022

I took a nature walk over Thanksgiving break while I was home. I live in rural Pennsylvania, so I walked around the woods for about an hour. The weather was sunny, but windy and chilly. At first it was difficult to find insects, but once I figured out where to look it became easier. I found that most of the insects I found were hiding under logs or rocks. I needed to flip these objects over to observe the insects. There are definitely not as many insects around as there are in the summer, but there were still quite a few, they were just harder to find. I found some termites and a woodlouse, which belong to the phylum Arthropoda. I also found round worms which are Nematoda. This was a nice opportunity to get outside and be in nature over the break.
