More Leaves

With this assignment in the back of my mind, I am constantly looking for more and more plants on campus that provide evidence of phytophagy. As I was walking to the gym earlier today, I noticed another tree with many leaves that had holes in them and brown discoloring. It seems like every leaf on that tree had been chewed on by insects and had a brown discoloring around the entire leaf. The more I look and stare at a plant, it seems like almost every plant I see shows some evidence of phytophagy on this campus. This specific leaf that I took a picture of was near the bottom of the tree where leaves began to grow. The tree itself was located to the right of the main entrance of Boyden Gym near the first row of parking in the lot. The holes on the leaf werent perfectly round so that shows that something was eating it and in this case it was definitely insects.
