Let's see. The most obvious species in my environment are humans. There are two in my house. We share the house with a dog and two cats. Those animals are hosts for the occasional fleas and once in a blue moon, tapeworms. I'm sure there are lots of mites around, living off of shed skin. In the kitchen, towards the end of the week, fruit flies can be seen hovering above the compost container. Larger house flies can sometimes be seen about the house. We have bamboo, chenille plant, avocado tree, citrus tree, apricot tree, plum trees, a group of random succulents, a china doll tree, honeysuckle, palm tree, olive tree, strawberry plant, rosemary, mint . . . . grass . . . and all sorts of ants and slugs, snails, worms . . . molds and fungi live in and around the compost . . . sometimes those huge, um, potato bugs can be found when digging in the dirt, or worse . . .half a potato bug eewwwww!
