The yellow rock was what caught my eye. The dark rock looked similar to petrified wood, but I really don’t think it was.
My favorite white moving debris, the Green Lacewing larva!
Plagiomnium cuspidatum‘s capsules hang their heads.
The leaves of the Plagiomnium cuspidatum has teeth on the upper third.
The whole patch!
So I don’t recall seeing sapsucker holes this low on a tree.
Weird acorn cap stuck to the bark!
A female Question Mark! The males have darker hind wings.
Here with the wings closed, Jeanne noticed the white legs. The common name Question Mark comes from silvery comma and adjacent dot forming a question mark on the outer surface. However, the question mark is not very prominent. And it can not be seen in my photo here.
Final shot for today’s post. A boring beetle hole that revealed the tree rings!

What do you think made the holes if not a sapsucker? It doesnt seem likely one would be making a racket so close to the ground. The lavewing larva may be the cutest ever.

I did think it was a sapsucker. At least it looked like right kind of holes. 🤷🏻♀️
Do you think something lived under acorn stuck?
I resisted to looking under, but now that you say that, maybe I should have 🙂
Amazing that Jeanne spotted the question mark’s white legs! I would have lumped them with the vine roots. She has super vision.
I agree!
