Strobili tips pointed, which would suggest E. hyemale, but leaf sheaths have only a thin dark band at the tip, which would suggest E. laevigatum. So am wondering if it is Equisetum × ferrissii, a hybrid between the two, as described in Flora of Missouri.

瘦姬蜂屬 (屬 Ophion)觀察者
kueda描述
I found this wasp near a light on my house. The light was surrounded by araneid orb weavers (probably Araneus). Once the wasp got somewhat stuck, and the spider shot out to nab it, but being rather large and heavy, the wasp fell out of the web in the nick of time. This guy was pretty chunky, maybe 2-3 cm from head to the end of the abdomen.

I'm just guessing on the species identification.
One of four hanging thieves lurking among the Phyla that morning.

I have no clue what family this belongs in. It was extraordinarily small. I hope someone recognizes it, because now I'm really curious.
It was in an area of pure sand on the bank above the Meramec River.

The fly is perching, in the first two images, on a bud of Claytonia virginica -- in fact the same bud featured in an observation of an unknown Aculeata a few moments before: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152746767 .
The AI is recommending genus Tetanocera.

Last of three individuals for the day; photo only taken with my phone, but still seems diagnostic.
This one has almost no well-defined postmedian spot band on the ventral hindwing, but the combination of checkered fringe and "straight" subapical marks on forewing, in addition to overlay of silvery scales throughout hindwing, likely safely identify the species. I pursued it hoping it might be Linda's, but, alas, I don't think so.
Mineralizing in a mostly dry creek.

條蜂族 (族 Anthophorini)觀察者
chert_hollow描述
pretty clear evidence of biological activity, but not sure what; deposits are plastered on a limestone rock face under an overhang ledge; multiple snail shells incorporated into the matrix and mud dauber nests also present on surface (see my next observations)
AI suggests Anthophora

Excellent comparison of Tundra and Trumpeter Swans - the Tundra is in the foreground, the Trumpeter in the background.

虎掌 (Pinellia pedatisecta)觀察者
arembert描述
Looks very similar to native green dragon (Arisaema dracontium) but is shorter, grows more vigorously and blooms late into the summer.
Also, the back of the spadix is fused to the spathe , whereas in A. dracontium, the flower parts are separate

Quite variable, aren't they? These are from a small patch of old field that has been restored as 'prairie' in an urban park. The property is one of the first that was settled in Green County. I expect the snail has been there right along.

mdolomieu1描述
I have not been able to figure this one out. These two dorsal shots were all I managed before it was gone. I am thinking some sort of color morph of either Euptoieta claudia or Asterocampa clyton. Any opinions are welcome.

Solid white back.
Perhaps the same skunk that I observed earlier, since I saw it very close to where that one had been.

Found at edge of woodland. Appears to have elytra, which makes me think this is a beetle mimicking a wasp rather than an actual wasp.

Does not look like a mud dauber but builds a similar nest. I have no idea what this is.
