Week 5 Observations

1.29.25

Saltwort

Batis maritima

Observed at Galveston Island State park 1.29.25. It is native to Texas and is found on sandy beaches, salt marshes, and mangroves. It is considered a pioneer plant which is a species of plant that is the first to grow in areas where natural disasters have occurred (like hurricanes) and enables the more complex plant species to take root later on. It is able to do this because it can handle harsher conditions with less nutrients than other species. Such an important plant for the health of our marshes!

Native Americans have eaten saltwort raw, cooked or even pickles! The roots can be chewed like sugar cane and boiled into beverages.

Fun fact: the ashes of saltwort have been used to make soaps and glass because the sodium levels are so high.

1.30.25

Splitgill Mushroom

Schizophyllum commune

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 1.30.25. I spotted these tiny (~1-2cm) mushrooms on a decaying stick in the dunes.

The caps are covered in white hairs. This mushroom can stay dry for decades and then be revived by moisture!

It’s a tough, rubbery mushroom that has been eaten in tropical countries over tender mushrooms that rot so quickly in the humidity.

Yet they also can cause allergic reactions and fungal infections. Don’t go inhaling their spores!

These mushrooms have the highest amount of sexes than any other species with over 28,000!! This guarantees diversity of genetic material is much higher.

What a wild little mushroom!

1.31.25

White-speck Moth

Mythimna unipuncta

Observed at Galveston Island State Park (moths seem to love our breeze way) 1.29.25

It is native to North and South America. Introduced to Africa, Europe & Asia. It is a nocturnal agricultural pest. Another name for it is armyworm moth and it gets this name from the caterpillars that line up in huge groups and move from crop to crop damaging them. Apparently corn is a favorite though they will eat a large variety of crops.

Fun fact: an adult can fly 62 miles in one night!

2.1.25

Lesser Black-backed Gull

Larus fuscus

Observed 1.28.25 at Galveston Island State Park. It is not native to Texas but is a common winter visitor. It is believed that the ones visiting Galveston are most likely from Iceland or Greenland.

They are omnivores eating seeds, berries, eggs, chicks, small mammals & birds, sea stars, mollusks and fish, like this Atlantic Needlefish.

Their call is similar to the Herring Gull and sounds like a laughing cry.

2.2.25

Bushy Bluestem

Andropogon glomeratus

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 2.2.25.

It is a native prairie grass to Texas and is widespread across the Americas.

It provides food and habitat to song birds a some butterfly larvae.

In the growing season the grass is green but is this luscious copper color in the fall/winter.

Unlike other bluestem species the bushy bluestem thrives in moist areas, like wetlands and around ponds!

Some Native American tribes even use the roots to treat poison ivy.

2.3.25

Common Chickweed

Stellaria media

Observed 2.3.25

Native to Europe, invasive weed in Texas and most of America.

It is a cool weather annual that grows in dense mats. It out competes nature spring plants by taking nutrients and sun from them.

Each plant can produce 600-1500 seeds and those seeds can be viable for years! Not good when it’s an invasive species.

Besides spreading through seeds it also spreads vegetatively due to its fibrous roots. So if you are weeding make sure to dispose of the plant material because it will reroot if you don’t.

Interesting fact I learned is that it can store plant viruses and pests!

2.4.25

Seven-spotted Lady Beetle

(Coccinella septempunctata)

Observed 2.4.25

This species was introduced to North America 3 separate times and finally took hold in the 1970s. They’re used to control aphid populations on crops because it is a carnivorous beetle. It has since become invasive, taking resources from native species.

The bright color of this species is used to warn would be predators away and they will secrete a toxic fluid from their leg joints when threatened making them taste bad.

I watched this one climb all over leaves, grass and weeds. They’re quite nimble for being so bulky!

Martyrs' Day.

In India, there are six days declared as Martyrs' Day (at national level also known as Sarvodaya day). They are named in honour of those who are recognised as martyrs for the nation.

30 January is the date observed in the national level. The date was chosen as it marks the assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1948, by Nathuram Godse. On Martyr's Day the president, the vice president, the prime minister, the defence minister, and the three Service Chiefs gather at the samadhi at Raj Ghat memorial and lay wreaths decorated with multi-colour flowers. The armed forces personnel blow bugles sounding the Last Post. The inter-services contingent reverse arms as a mark of respect. A two-minute silence in memory of Indian martyrs is observed throughout the country at 11 am. Participants hold all-religion prayers and sing tributes.

Asia Pacific 117 years ago today: Anglo-Japanese Alliance (30 Jan 1902) https://buff.ly/2WttqsT During the Boxer Rebellion, Russia had occupied Manchuria. Suspicious of Russian intentions in the region and wary of its alliance with France, Britain and Japan signed a defensive agreement, promising to come to each other’s aid should either of them get involved in a war with two or more powers. #asiapacific #history #welovemaps #map #1900s #1902 #boxerrebellion #chinesehistory #frenchempire #germanempire #january #january30 #japan #japanesehistory #russianempire #britishempire #manchuria #maps #asianhistory #worldhistory #greatpowers #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historynerd #historygeek #geopolitics #alliance #omniatlas (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtP7dBpAch-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=529mhldkui9g
