April 13, 2022: collected a Gouty Oak Gall


April 27, 2022: a wasp (found dead)

Sometime while away from home (6/11/22 to 6/15/22) on a meander, two moths emerged but were dead by the time I returned. (Hoping for one more moth emergence!) Moth ID based on these BG postings:


June 15, 2022: 2 moths, deceased
Should I admit that at first I though 2 colorful wasps had emerged?
