What does Aria love most about nature?

“I feel like nature is so special because there are all of these different animals and plants. For example Demodex Arachnids are interesting and live on our skin, don’t worry everyone has them. Water bears (tardigrades) can live in space which is so cool! Tropical pitcher plants can get big enough to eat frogs and so much more!”


What is Aria's favorite animal—and why?

“Peregrine Falcons, because they are the fastest animal in the world and they are raptors. They are in the same family as Merlin Falcons. Their diet consists of small rodents like mice. They are considered a raptor because they have great eyesight, a curved beak and sharp talons.”


What is Aria's favorite outdoor activity?

“Planting trees, growing a garden with my mom, and thinking up ways to build habitats.”
