no idea how to tell this from other iNat suggestion (Gonyodiscus) - size?
very fine ribbing

really really small. those rocks are pieces of sand and gravel.

fascinating. seems to be mimicking certain flightless wasp species such as Timulla vagans.

near Sharp-Lobed Hepatica but unusual leaf shape...?

I don't know how to file this under the fungus that caused this leaf deformation, iNat reverted it to "Life" when I attempted to change it !

rainy day, on glass door under porch light - canal nearby

A new one to me, she's guarding her egg sac.

found near other caddisflies, I assume this one lost its armor or hasn't constructed it yet. had a sticky layer over the body.

Bonus tiny worm on the left side

Ice meadows, Hudson River, Nature Conservancy, Warrensburg, Warren County, NY, October 2020

on rotting log - probably a conifer not a hardwood

Smells like burnt maple syrup and mothballs
