Sample information

The insect I found was walking very quickly along the sidewalk but stopped when I covered it with the cup and even stayed still while I was up close to it, taking the picture. Also, the sidewalk it was roaming on was surrounded by a field of grass, so it most likely came from the grass. The insect was caught on a pretty cold day, right about the time the sun was setting.

Methods

Results

I am fairly confident with my results because the insect band was definitely there, but it was smaller and fainter than others, meaning that there was not as much DNA being tested.
