Idaho Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium idahoense)Observer
connorbuddDescription
Single specimen in the middle of damp hay field (mostly Phalaris arundinacea). Small nearby areas contain Persicaria amphibia, Argentina pacifica, Spiraea douglasii, Viola palustris, Mentha canadensis and Symphotrichum subspicatum. A terrible photo, but as of 2024 attempts to locate this individual for better photos have been unsuccessful.

At first, I thought this bee was digging but as I watched it became clear that it was filling an already excavated tunnel.

Potter and Mason Wasps (Subfamily Eumeninae)Observer
robertweedenDescription
Found several of these on trees in an apple orchard. The structure looks and crumbles as if it is made up of soil. Inside are yellow larvae.
Not sure if it is an actual gall or something built onto the tree. Anyone seen this before?
