A moss that I haven't identified growing on an old tree stump. The water droplets on the stalks are overnight dew. The black sporophytes (lower centre) appear to turn brown (upper centre) before bursting open (see top left) and scattering their spores.

From last spring: a fly, possibly Pegomya bicolor (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). The thin abdomen probably indicates that this is male.
