Tree of life exercise

My observations have helped me locate various examples of five different taxa:

1. Plants: I discovered this interesting fern-looking plant on campus while I was walking to class last week. I am sure that this belongs to the plants taxa and is therefore a member of Kingdom Plantae. I am not entirely sure of the name of this plant, however.
2. Arachnids: I found this striped spider and although I am unsure of what type of spider it is, I am positive it is an exemplification of a species included in the arachnids taxa.
3. Birds: This sparrow is a part of the birds taxa. I am not entirely sure what type of sparrow it is, but it’s bright yellow beak and red breast caught my eye.
4. Mammals: Squirrels are members of the mammals taxa. This exemplification of a mammal specifically shows a local squirrel munching on its lunch.
5. Insects: This bee that I noticed near one of the libraries on campus is a species from the insect taxa.
