A few months ago I found a Royal Tigertail dragonfly (a lifer for me and possibly my favourite observation) and this mosquito was in the picture as well!

Any chance that might be another duck or a Canada goose bent down in the grass instead? “Hind leg” = neck and head, “tail” = extended wing?
Hmmmmm… because I was baffled at the color changes being canine…
Y’know, you may be on the right track—which would explain why my brain hit the ‘ignore’ filter.
Awesome! Thank you both for bringing your eyeballs and expertise to the conundrum.
Actually I looked again and it looked like a standing goose, two legs and the low belly, tail on the right… and I thought " if that was a coyote or fox those birds would’ve known…"
Tiny mushroom peaking from under shield lichen..

Found a springtail in my slime mold observation
There is a bee (or beetle?) butt sticking out of this columbine flower! I never noticed it until another user pointed it out to me
Wow, that is so tiny. It took me longer than I would care to admit.
I had already put up the photo as observations of moss and of fungi before I noticed it :D
That is to funny to look at after your narration :)
Thank you - I’m so glad to know I didn’t just make myself laugh! (-:
