Week 10: Living Diversity

I live in an urban neighborhood but there is still quite a diversity of species around me. For example, there is a cat standing on my kitchen table as I write this waiting for a pat on the head. There are birds chirping outside my window and humans walking by outside. There is a collection of insects roaming around in the soil outside as well as a few ants making their way inside next to my sliding glass door. There are quite a few species of plants hanging out in my refrigerator- kale, broccoli, sweet peppers, etc…. I am also told that every person has their own custom bacteria roaming around in their skin and in their gut.
