Black, gray, and white organisms

Rabdophaga strobiloides (Willow Pinecone Gall Midge)

I’m fairly unfamiliar with galls so finding ones that stand out are always an unexpected surprise..

Judging by the ring on its stem and blobs on its cap, it is death in a small package.

That is the Greengill (or “Green-spored Parasol” on iNat.) Some older sources say that there have been fatalities, but newer sources say that it will only make you sick to your stomach.

Up here in Alaska at least, I think it’s some kind of burrowing polychaete that makes tunnels in shells like this.

Canada Goose that was hanging out near some water at a zoo. It has all of those colors listed on it. It was also hanging out with a giraffe which is funny. The giraffe didn’t even care, nor did the goose, yet geese act aggressive to me for no reason, and when I was very young, they let me pet them because I was smaller than them and didn’t threaten them, but giraffes are way taller than humans and look like they could be more harmful than a human, even if giraffes eat mainly plants. Because hippos eat mostly plants too and they could be harmful to humans.

White breasted Nuthatch, also has all of the colors listed.

Common Grackle, it is black but also a bit iridescent. It was seen near another body of water at that same zoo the Canada Goose was at.

American Crows on a random coniferous tree. They kept cawing and being very sweet and cute.

Cute little stripey fly. I’m not sure what it is, though. I just clicked what the suggestions said. If you know what it is, go to the link and identify it.

Beautiful Clouded Sulphur. I found it resting on a flower and not moving and so I just grabbed it. It didn’t really try to escape after I grabbed it, but when I let go for a few seconds, it flew far away.

Invasive Cabbage White, it looks a bit beautiful and similar to a Clouded Sulphur (which is native) but it’s not as beautiful and it competes with native butterflies.

Cute little Bald-faced Hornet, it is stealing wood from a fence though. (It was at that zoo btw and it was a fence for some zebras)

It’s a zebra at the zoo and it’s not wild, but it is still very cool.
