Leg Sample from Unknown Beetle

 When I was younger, my uncle used to always say this thing about, “Oh, if you scratch yourself, you’ll find thousands of little skin cells underneath your fingernails.” This line would always lead into a long rant about how evolution isn’t real or something like. I never paid attention, not only because his argument didn’t make sense, but also because I was, like, seven years old and could hardly tell my lefts from my rights. Anyways…

   Sample collected from pothos plant in my room in Avery House on 5/31/19 at ~7pm. Piece of stem was cut from plant with a pocket knife. The same knife was used to slice a thin layer (not a cross-section, but a lateral slice) of the stem, which was placed onto a slide and observed through a foldscope.
