Pogona are a genus of lizards containing seven species, which are often known by the common name bearded dragons. Members of this genus live in the arid, rocky, semi-desert regions and dry open woodlands of Australia. They are adept climbers, spending time on branches and in bushes, even found on fence posts when living near human habitation. Pogona bask on rocks and exposed branches in the mornings and afternoons. The species are found throughout Australia.

Calamondin or Kalamansi (scientific name: Citrus ×microcarpa) is a fruit tree in the family Rutaceae that was developed in and is very popular throughout Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, where it is most commonly used for cooking. In the west it is variously known as acid orange, calamondin orange, Chinese Orange or Panama orange. It is a shrub or small tree growing to 3–6 m, and bears small citrus fruit used to flavor foods and drinks. Although sometimes described as a native of the Philippines or other areas of Southeast Asia, the tree is in fact the result of a hybrid between species in the genus Citrus and unknown in the wild. If the segregate genus Fortunella is recognised the calamondin is treated as an intergeneric hybrid in the nothogenus ×Citrofortunella. The fruit of the calamondin resembles a small, round lime, usually 25-35mm in diameter, but sometimes up to 45mm. It has the color of a tangerine with a very thin green or orange col

Some species exhibit an amazing resemblance with ants and are called "ant like " spiders. They belong to the genus Myrmarachne. The one shown on the left was found in Australia. Because of its resemblance to ants, it can walk between them without being attacked.
Salticids can be found everywhere if the sun is shining, on trees, grass and rocks. At night or during rainfall the spiders hide in a dry spot under a small web.
Their large eyes give them excellent eyesight. As most spiders they also have four pairs of eyes. Two large ones in de middle and two small ones are looking forward. Above the front row is a second row of two tiny eyes and behind these there is a set of two large eyes looking upward. All these eyes give them a 360-degree eyesight. Spiders have singular eyes like mammals, unlike the insects that have compound eyes. The eyes can move out or inwards for focusing and they can turn up and down and left a

Carrizo and Troyer citranges are hybrids of Washington navel orange and Poncirus trifoliata. The original crosses were made in the early 1900s by the United States Department of Agriculture with the intention of producing
cold-tolerant scion varieties.
Carrizo is almost indistinguishable from Troyer and of the same parentage. Savage and Gardner (1965) have presented convincing evidence that Carrizo and Troyer are in fact a single clone, which originated as the zygotic seedling from a cross of Washington navel and trifoliate orange instead of two sister seedlings as had been assumed (Mortensen, 1954).

Super fine, lacy foliage, generously accented with creamy speckles, creates a soft, frosted look that sets this cultivar apart. It is also versatile and adapts to both sunny and shady spots. With more sun, the accent color takes on richer, golden tones, but does not burn. With less sun, the accent is whiter and almost glows in the dark. Loosely globose when young, plants slowly become more upright and broad as they age. Grow in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade.
