One of the chaffer beetles, Osmoderma scabra, lumbered laboriously across a road as I came by. Osmoderma species are called "odor of leather beetles" because of the scent males exude when hoping to attract females.
The remains of a largish crawfish was on the bank of the West River.
And an exotic looking but common plume gall adorned a riverside rush, Juncus canadense.
