Week2 Draft1

Update on the Unknown Organism (larva)

The larva was given a peel of clementine skin. The organsim reacts be exploring the peel and proceeds to crawl towards the tender white inner portion of the skin and appears to be eating the peel. Later, the organism remains still, lying beneath the peel. When disturbed, the larva retreats and clings onto the white portion of the skin. Over the course of three days, the organism changes, darkening in color, and growing in size. Other changes include darkening of the spots along the side of the organsim as well as darkening of the legs.There is a decrease in activity and lesser response to disturbances. By the third day, the organism does not seem to be eating the skin, but simply remains still beneath it.
