Heavy showers.
Two flies: a Tachinid (left) and an unidentified specimen (right).
An Earthball - Scleroderma citrinum.
The smell of this Stinkhorn - Phallus impudica - alerted me to its presence.
An interesting mine on Oak. This appears to be a gallery mine, but the larva doesn't match any of the Oak gallery miners. It turns out that the micromoth Ectoedemia albifasciella starts off with a gallery mine, but then transforms it into a blotch mine.
This one is more straightforward: the micromoth Phyllonorycter quercifoliella, also on Oak.
Close, but not close enough. I've been searching for an occupied mine of the micromoth Stigmella roborella since I found an empty one on this tree two years ago. This is another empty mine. One day...
Two galls on Oak. Oak Marble gall (left) and Oak Spangle gall (right).
