Pretty sure these other observations are of the same infected springtail, but at different times. They were found in almost exactly the same place (within 1 inch since the last observation with no other infected springtails in sight)

Rooting weevil inside the root of purple loosestrife that was dug up. This species is hard to find since their young mature inside roots and the adults are active at night. This is an approved biocontrol species for the noxious weed purple loosestrife, to help maintain and reduce the vigor and spread of this weed. There are also 2 other more common biocontrol insect species for purple loosestrife. This is a private location near where the Sammamish River meets Lake Washington

A good proportion of flowers on some of the Tansy Ragwort (Senecio jacobiae AKA Jacobeae vulgaris) flower heads contain a maggot. The flowers are matted, and fall out easily. Inside, it is hollow, with a single maggot.

Been waiting to see this mushroom for a few years after gawking at it on the cover of MOTRC every day.
Thank you for the inspiration @leptonia @noah_siegel
Growth in primarily conifer second and old growth forest with interspersed hardwoods. Plenty of Russula nigricans around but not at the site of this fruiting.
Small sclerotia present upon further examination at home.

Just for interest, added cycad seeds being sorted . Nobody seems to know who brought them in or where they came from, but many of the seeds have similar holes, similarly empty. None of our cycads have cones now, so thinking this beastie came in with the seeds.

Found two blephs fluttering around the bridge over Cliff Falls in Kanaka Creek during a light rain. Only my second or third time catching adult Blephariceridae, I think! The wing venation seems to key out to Dioptopsis in the manual of Nearctic Diptera, but the body seems a little too big. I’ll have to see what taxa the local museums have in their material. Specimens in collection.

I found this pseudoscorpion by picking up a piece of fallen lichen (Genus Platismatia, I think), then gently tapping it against the edge of a small plastic container. After taking this series of photos, I returned the pseudoscorpion back to the lichen where I found it. I always do my best to minimize how much I disturb the critters I wish to photograph -- my aim is to leave them unharmed and in the exact same microhabitat/location where I discovered them.
