This organism looks a lot like a grub and might belong to the grub family. It doesn’t seem to be exactly “thriving” in the enclosed environment, but this may just be its function, doing nothing. It may belong in more of a soil like environment, but this is just a guess based off the ancestors I think it has. The organism is off-white in color, measuring approximately ¾ an inch, it’s very tiny. The insect does seem to have the ability to sense his surroundings. It might have feelers on the bottom part of his body that makes it able to sense its surroundings. Plus, when the organism is turned over, it tends to freak out about being on its back and does everything in its ability to flip back over once again. The insect tends to move slow except when stimulated or disturbed by an outside source. After learning more about the insect from our professor, the worm almost can’t prosper unless it is in an enclosed container by itself. I find this very interesting and offers insight into the types of environments it should live in and will do well in. It’s purpose doesn’t seem apparent in this environment. What is this insects purpose? Is it supposed to provide nutrients to other organisms? It can be inferred that this insect is prey because of the “eye-like” dots on the back of it. Usually this is supposed to intimidate other organisms and animals.
