Species of life found on our farm
Below are 2 tables showing the species that we have recorded on our farm. The first table is for all the species we initially found on the farm. We spent about 1 month trying to witness all the species, at least of visible size, that were currently living on the farm, including ones that transit through. The second table is for all the species we have found afterwards. Keep in mind some things, especially invertebrates, are incredibly hard to identify, at least to us, so we may just have to label them by family and follow by a number to separate different species within the same family. I hope we can manage to at least pin down to family level. If you see something that is not identified or incorrectly identified we would love to hear from you. If youˇ¦re willing, shoot us an e-mail.
