Mid July I believe.

I recently cooked one of these to mix into spaghetti sauce. It was delicious. As long as the puffball is larger than a softball and at the right stage of growth there shouldn't be any confusion with an inedible lookalike.

Stoneflies emerge from streams early in the spring from openings in the ice on streams and rivers. This one is walking on the snow. The presence of this species indicates a healthy ecosystem.

I'll take your advice. Thanks for all the information!

I had a viceroy chrysalis that looked just like that one

Nice find. That looks a lot like a two-striped planthopper.

Nice find! I'll be trying to identify this one

It looks like a sawfly larva.

Nice find!

Looks like a knapweed of some kind.
