Another small mystery wasp, standing on my thumbnail after I coaxed it off my camera.

Went out to feed the birds this a.m. & saw something "mounted" to a back porch support beam. Closer inspection revealed it was a very large #moth. My ID app suggests Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) with an average wingspan of 6". It was just chilling during the a.m. storms. I hoped it would open up but it just stayed motionless. It was quite dark so the pics aren't the best. Antennae are very cool!

Photograph of a large moth clinging to a vertical beam that is painted brown. An ID app suggests it is Antheraea polyphemus or the Polyphemus moth) with an average wingspan of 6 inches. The moth has large, tear-drop shaped, brownw antennae and a large body and legs covered by long brown hairs. Its wings are patterned and scalloped with grey and brown and it has a large brown "eye" on its outer wing that is surrounded by a narrow circle of light tan.

Portraits of some of the recent lichens I've met. My guesses as to IDs:

* Flavoparmelia caperata
* A nice moss that looks like asparagus tips, with Xanthoria parietina & physcia adscendens (?) growing through / around it
* Parmotrema, physcia & candelariella
* Caloplaca species

Looking at the top of a horizontal fence rail, which is covered in layer after layer of grey-green lichen seemingly piled on top of one another. It has wide lobes like leaves, and sections of raised dots like tiny mushrooms
Closeup of a patch of moss seen from above. It has bright yellow lichen growing through it, and is surrounded by pale green lichen with what look like thin fleshy hairs sticking out at different angles
Closeup of a silver-gray lichen in wide sheets / lobes, growing on top of a blanket of yellow powdery lichen. A few of the narrow grey lichens from the previous picture with the fleshy hairs wind through some of the larger variety
Closeup of a quarter of a round orange-yellow lichen growing on stone, which has a black powdery residue (possibly another lichen) dotted around. The main orange-yellow lichen has tiny holes near the tips of its fine lobes, an area of whitish-yellow inside this, then its centre is a multitude of raised yellow-orange lumps with cracks in between, looking like the dried, cracked mud left over after a lake dries out

A story for #InverteFest, in two parts.

I found this large, conspicuous gall while out walking and after taking a few shots I started to wonder what it looked like inside. Since there was an exit hole, I thought, no one's inside, I'll just crack it open! 1/2
