TWIS #8

In this week in science we learned some vocabulary such as dorsal and ventral views which are the front and back view of the specimen. on this specimen its posterior is at the back end of it and its distal to the anterior which is the head of the specimen. This Crickets environment are grassy places. If my organism needed to adapt to a watery place it would need gills and webbed feet or fins because its small thin legs wont push it far in water.                                                                                          
This is a ventral view of a Cricket.
Also we learned about the parts or a cricket and dissection. Also the tools needed to dissect. While i was dissecting i didn't know the organism had an open circulatory system which means it doesn't have veins so when i cut it all its fluid leaked out. It was an aha and an ew moment.
This is the side view of a Cricket.
