Something...Observer

This looks a bit to me as if some sort of insect or other arthropod was making a home on the concrete step riser.

These are beautiful, and impossible to pick as a cut flower. If you try, the flower falls off immediately! Native to southeastern United States

Compost Fly (Ptecticus trivittatus)Observer
conniecohnDescription
This could be a compost fly and it’s definitely on pill chicken of the woods mushroom that’s decaying. There were a bunch of these, all about half an inch long or so. Maybe a quarter of an inch to a half inch flying about. Very rarely did they ever land. The previous entry was the same thing while I was trying to photograph and not seeing well

Rodent (scat)Observer

This scat is larger and fatter than a mouse would leave. Something raids the cat food bowl at night. I know we have hispid rats and voles nearby.

This is my guess, but it could also be a tall dock, and less likely a clustered dock

Plants (Kingdom Plantae)Observer
conniecohnDescription
I cannot identify this at this stage of its lifecycle. It’s tall and getting taller and has a big root. The leaflets growing out of the stem, seem to grow opposite one another, and each little part may have seven leaflets. But that doesn’t seem certain either. One possibility that was suggested on I naturalist was trumpet vine. That could make sense because I have a hedge of them a few hundred yards away identified when they bloom by the flowers. It’s late enough I can’t go over to look right now and see what they’re looking like at a very young stage in the spring.

Is the brown thing inside there a part of the cedar tree or is it a fungus growing on the cedar tree?
