Discovery NotesSoil Sample was found in a very small retention pond in the back of Campus Lodge Apartment complexes behind a small basketball court. Found on September 5th, 2017 in Tampa, Florida. Out of all the samples collected on this date, this sample was the wettest and darkest soil. The soil was also sticky with a stench. The temperature was 87ºF at 5:30 PM EST and came from 1/2 inch below the surface of the ground.
Naming NotesNamataka is my middle name and is Ugandan. Not many people know it, and not many people will do more than glance over it. But there are always those few that dive deeper to explore it. I see my phage the same way
