| Discovery Notes | Collected from the base of the leftmost tree behind the Jesus Statue when facing the statue. The sample contained fine dirt with dead grass and other organic matter on the surface. |
| Naming Notes | The phage name HitchHiker was named because the way phages latch onto bacterial cells makes them like hitch hikers in a way. |
