| Discovery Notes | Tairn4Wing was found in a very dry compost bin by a garden. It was taken from a more compacted layer underneath sticks and leaves. |
| Naming Notes | We chose this name because Fourth Wing is my favorite book series that contains so much adventure, trial and error, and dragons, which is what it took to find our phage (not the dragons part). |
