| Discovery Notes | I found my phage outside of my apartment near a bike rack and a sidewalk. The soil was dry and the land was flat. |
| Naming Notes | The first time I saw my phage I thought it was cute and small. It's tail is smaller than I imagined as well. I kept calling him a lil guy to everyone I talked to about him. He is a lil guy but he still reeks some havoc, and 'shred' through M.smeg when plated. I also felt in some ways this phage is my child and I hope my kids are shredders in the sense of snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding. Soo say hey to LilShred. |
