On miner's lettuce
This is a common fly. Flies belong to the phylum Arthropoda and class Insecta. This was found on Cerritos College campus. I found the fly sitting on the leaf in areas close to the trash cans while walking around. It was late afternoon, and it was quite hot outside, which the flies seem to love.
This spider was terrifying. Class Arachnid. I found this spider hovering right above me which scared me a bit. It was in a pile of wood, camouflaged really well. This was a cloudier day during the late afternoon. Cerritos College campus.
Small white mite. Frustrating
