  • Praying Mantis.  The Phylum Arthropoda is the largest group of organisms on Earth.  They tend to have a segmented body and jointed legs.  This body plan of repeating parts and appendages means that parts can be modified in different species to perform different functions. For example, a praying mantis has raptorial forelimbs it uses to catch and hold prey, while the hind legs are used for standing and walking.  Arthropods are the Swiss Army knives of the animal kingdom.

  • The pohutukawa tree (Metrosideros excelsa) with its crimson flower has become an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. This iconic Kiwi Christmas tree, which often features on greeting cards and in poems and songs, has become an important symbol for New Zealanders at home and abroad. <br />
<br />
Pohutukawa and its cousin rata also hold a prominent place in Maori tradition. Legends tell of Tawhaki, a young Maori warrior, who attempted to find heaven to seek help in avenging the death of his father. He fell to earth and the crimson flowers are said to represent his blood.
