//This week I decided to do my scientific discovery Acorn. Before you ask why I did my discovery on the __Acorn.__ Well you see i have a oak tree behind my house, when the Acorns fall it hits my roof which is made out of tin sheets and sounds like a gun. The scientific name for __Acorn__ is __Balanus Glandula.__ The Acorn also called the oak nut, grows on Oak trees. The Acorn usually contains of one seed it rarely contains two. The Acorn is about 8-4 cm broad, The seed is enclosed in a tough leathery shell. Acorns take between 6-24 months to mature, The mature shells are usually brown and the un-mature shells are green. So that was my scientific discovery for this weekend.//



//I decided to do my scientific discovery on the __Mosquito__. The scientific name for the Mosquito is __Culicdae__. There are over eighty types of Mosquito`s in Florida thirty-three, types of species can bite humans and livestock. You know how everyone says why where mosquito`s created. Mosquito`s where created so bats have a main source of food. Mosquito`s carry deadly diseases to human and livestock. Some of these diseases are Malaria Yellow-Fever Filariasis. There are many other diseases carried in Mosquito`s too. If these diseases are not treated they can cause death. Female Mosquito`s are the only Mosquito's that will bite humans and livestock, Male Mosquito`s feed on nectar from flowers.//

//Mosquito`s are considered to be in the fly family, when Mosquito`s bite humans it usually causes red bumps to appear. Mosquito`s represent Crane Flies which I think is weird because Crane Flies are in the __Tipulidae Family.__ Adult Mosquito`s can also be called Imago, for most species it usually takes a month and ten days for the eggs to hatch. The Mosquito has two part on it`s body used for piercing the skin. These blades are called the __Mandibles__ and __Maxillae.__//
