Reflection

I chose to do the habitat (open and dry grasslands), the food it eats, (lupin) and 3 reasons why it’s endangered (burning of sand, terrain vehicle destruction, and insecticide spray).
My color scheme is warm colors. I do like how it turned out because it matches a lot of the systems I chose.
it’s important to know about the Phillyra Tiger Moth because it’s important to keep all species alive. To help stop it’s endangerment, we need to avoid messing with open dry grasslands.
