on Pyrus calleryana. uncertain if photos 6-8 pertain to same organism; these structures were only present on infected leaves (on the midvein at the base of the leaf blade) and look somewhat like deflated or ruptured chasmothecia.

Found these two on my tomatoes over the weekend. They had both fallen off onto my cement patio, so I thought they might be ready to pupate but wasn't sure, so I brought them inside and put them in a container with some tomato leaves and dirt on the bottom. They continued to eat the leaves, but I noticed that one had gotten significantly larger than the other. By the evening of 9/12, parasitic wasp larvae had emerged from the smaller one. I put it outside to let nature take its course. By this morning, the large one was exhibiting the early stages of pupation--it was just starting to turn a little brown, and was digging around in the soil. Since I thought it possible it might winter over as a pupa this late in the year, I didn't want to keep it indoors and risk it emerging early, so I put it outside in some loose soil in my flowerbed to do its thing.

Photo is an actual photo of live insect taken by me at the time listed 2023-10-01 16:43:29 at OAK airport arrival terminal for southwest flight (SWA3845) from Baltimore. It was found alive on a passenger inside the airplane while landing, captured, and euthanized in the airport terminal. All details (ie coordinates, time of photo) are exact. No other individuals were seen but a detailed search of fuselage was not performed by poster.

A solo visit, nearly my first in 10 years. These records are solely for the boat ramp and observation tower. The weather at 1113 was partly sunny, 75 degrees ("feels like" 75), and breezy. I left here at 1320 and headed home.
