Arthropods - Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly

The scientific name for the Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly is Phoebis sennae. It is one of our most common Florida butterflies and is particularly prominent during it stall southward migration. Adults wing spans range from 4.8 to 6.8 cm (1.9 to 2.6 in). Adults are usually bright yellow , but some summer form females are pale yellow or white.

Annelid Worms - Earthworms

The scientific name for earthworms is Lumbricina. The reddish-gray colored common earthworm, often called a night crawler in the United States, is familiar to anyone with a fishing rod or a garden. They are indigenous to Europe, but are now abundant in North America and western Asia. Typically only a few inches (6 or 7 centimeters) in length, some members of this species have been known to grow to a rough 14 inches (35 centimeters). Earthworms' bodies are made up of ring-like segments called annuli These segments are covered in setae, or small bristles, which the worm use to move and burrow.

Echinoderms - Northern Starfish 

The scientific name for the Northern Starfish is Asterias vulgaris. It is pink or pale violet to a green, in color, grading to an off-white at the end of the arms. The body wall is strengthened by a specific pattern of plates. This species prefers a hard surface and is found from the low tide mark down to depths of about 800 meters. The Northern Starfish is distributed from the North Sea, the west coast of the Shetland Islands up to Spitzbergen, Greenland, and North America. They use "tube feet" which are connected to ampullae to move. When ampullae contract, fluid is forced into the tube feet, extending them; small muscles direct the tube feet in one direction or another. Sea stars migrate to deeper waters in the winter. An active individual could travel a mile in about on week.
