I carefully moved it back into the water, but had the feeling that it was already "on its way out" when I found it. :/

Little misunderstandings do happen in life.
Salamandra salamandra Bicéphale
Cardinal getting territorial with itself in this mirror. It was doing the same thing last week too. It spends a not-insignificant amount of time battling itself.
I have no idea what sea animal this was. It is an empty shell.
Mating on Xanthium strumarium leaf.
Not positive on ID, from Diplolepis stem galls on Rosa palustris
A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.
Amazing camouflage, but betrayed by your frass
At least 10 on one seedling
Had "string" of previous instar heads (?)

Road-killed immature broad-winged hawk
Road-killed long-tailed weasel
With pulsing, parasitized eye stalks
Attached to a palm tree (Bractis sp) on Igapó ecosystem.
Several of these male wasps were congregating around another wasp emerging (stuck?) in a wood crevice. They attempted to mate with it, so I thought it was a female. However close examination indicates that it was another male, perhaps trapped while trying to emerge from its pupal cell. Referring to a detailed reference linked on BugGuide, these key to:
Megarhyssa atrata (male, length about 35 mm)

It had no control over the front of its body and died soon after.
Raised in captivity, rather than being naturally found on location.
