Tortrix Moth

From last summer: a small tortrix moth, probably Aleimma loeflingiana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).  The brown markings on the wings can be quite variable, for example see here.

Crust Fungus

A pale lilac crust fungus, possibly Vuilleminia comedens (waxy crust fungus), growing on a dead branch of an oak tree. I am not sure whether the dark features are part of the fungus or just raised bits of the underlying wood poking through. 

A week later it looked like this:

And here is a wider-angle view:

Orange Flies

From last October: Lauxaniid flies mating, possibly Tricholauxania praeusta (Diptera: Lauxaniidae).  See here also.  They were on a patch of nettles beside the path near the Wilderness Road entrance to the university grounds.

Crust Fungus

Another photo of what I think is Cylindrobasidium evolvens.  See here for two different forms.

Moth

From last summer: a small moth, probably an Epiblema sp (Lepidoptera: Torticidae).  This genus contains several species that look like this, in particular E. scutulana, E. cirsiana, and E. sticticana.  These cannot be reliably distinguished by photographs alone.
