The spider species Argiope aurantia is commonly known as the yellow garden spider, black and yellow garden spider, golden garden spider, writing spider, zigzag spider, zipper spider, black and yellow argiope, corn spider, Steeler spider, or McKinley spider. The species was first described by Hippolyte Lucas in 1833. It is common to the contiguous United States, Hawaii, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. It has distinctive yellow and black markings on the abdomen and a mostly white cephalothorax. Its scientific Latin name translates to "gilded silver-face". The body length of males range from 5–9 mm; females range from 19–28 mm. These spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans, roughly equivalent to a bumblebee sting in intensity.

Flit has been working hard in Biology class focussing on the molecular structure of insects and splicing DNA.

She is successful in removing the moth introns and joining the firefly exons to recreate a species she's lovingly called the beacon bug.

 

She watches in awe as the beautiful creations flutter into the air and fill the darkness with a new light.

That's not a good photo but you can see the mess in my room. I love what I'm studying but please, I can't study anymore, I really want to finish the exams!

Found by a student in my Marine Biology class. At first we thought the shell was empty, but when Noah noticed a little hermit crab inside, he returned this beauty to the tidepools.

Bauhinia acuminata is a species of flowering shrub native to tropical southeastern Asia. Common names include: Dwarf White Bauhinia, White Orchid-tree and Snowy Orchid-tree.

 

It grows two to three meters tall. Like the other Bauhinia species, the leaves are bilobed, shaped like an ox hoof; they are 6 to 15 centimeters long and broad, with the apical cleft up to 5 cm deep; the petiole is 1.5 to 4 centimeters long. The flowers are fragrant, 8 to 12 centimeters in diameter, with five white petals, ten yellow-tipped stamens and a green stigma. The fruit is a pod 7.5 to 15 centimeters long and 1.5 to 1.8 centimeters broad. The species occurs in deciduous forests and scrub.

 

It is widely cultivated throughout the tropics as an ornamental plant. It may be found as an escape from cultivation in some areas, and has become naturalised.

 

Medical Uses: Root-decoction: boiled with oil and applied to burns; Stem-bark: antidote to poison; Decoction of bark of leaf: in biliousness, bladder stone, leprosy and asthma.

Within the realm of biology, I see that there is no longer any sum or difference found within multiplication and division.
