MUST be in your own words. Do NOT copy and paste from the Internet. You MAY use quotes from a source, but those quotes will NOT count towards your 250 word count requirement. Please do not plagiarize. If you use a quote, you MUST put quotation marks around it AND you MUST cite the source at the end of your post. It is NOT simply enough to put a source at the end. You should also include at least one reference in your post cited per APA. Do NOT use Wikipedia or Yahoo! Answers as a source.

Questions/topic: Organisms can be beneficial or harmful to humans. For this assignment, you will research the Internet and choose an organism from the Animal Kingdom that is beneficial or harmful to humans. You may NOT choose the same organism that someone else has already chosen.  Therefore, it is to your advantage to choose your topic early in the week.  In your initial post, describe the organism that you chose and why or how they are beneficial or harmful to humans.
