· Name and aliases – Species genus (latin name) and common name (the one listed above)

· Picture - can be hand drawn or from the internet

· Last Seen - where did it come from/originate?

· Known Hideouts - where does it live now (including states/regions of country would be helpful)?

· Accomplices - what helped it get here (hitchhiked, swam, was a pet, etc.)?

· Crime - what are the impacts of the presence of this invasive (ecologically, economically, etc.)?

· Reward – How will the ecosystem benefit if the organism is removed from the area it doesn’t belong in?
