| Discovery Notes | I found Terror in the soil situated in my backyard near some Cactus plants. The soil was dry and dark brown. |
| Naming Notes | Terror is the name of my dog who seems to be attracted to attacking its siblings and unknown visitors.He is the oldest of 3 dogs but smallest in size - He is definitely a dynamite in a small package and he knows how to stand his ground and own his territory. My new little phage has the same characteristics as Terror. He is minute but vicious, so I named this little fighter after Terror! |
