In trees, phytophagy can be observed in a sturdy, long lasting structure. In my research, I seeked out this specific variety of plant for that very reason. I was walking back to my dorm room from class northbound along Thatcher Way, when I reached the southern side of Lewis Hall. Parallel with the southern wall of the building, the closest wall to Thatcher hall, I looked to my right and I observed a tree with a large central gash in the trunk. The tree was in between the road and the building along a row of garden area. This particular tree is located directly to an asphalt ramp that leads to Thatcher Way. Upon further inspection, I observed a small pile of wood shavings at the base of the tree, indicating possible insect predation on the organism.
