Ok.  So, apparently I need my eyes examined...   Thanks, everyone.

 

Maybe I'll have better luck with invertebrates.  I'll post more photos separately, but here's a preview:

Well, I'm fairly sure you're okay with this one. Cyclus americanus, methinks.

Yes, this is a cyclus.

Friends-

 

Thanks for your patience with my last couple of posts, these concretions are a carnival ride.  I collected this delicate little (9mm) winged insect in 2010 at the Mazonia-Braidwood South Unit.  Any thoughts on what ballpark I should be looking in for an ID?  Some kind of damselfly, maybe? (Is it possibly newly-hatched with uninflated wings?)  I appreciate your time.

Thanks for the ID!

Hard call to make from a photo. Can you see any wing venation under 10x or 20x magnification? Any legs? Distinct body segments? From the photo, the best I see is a poorly preserved Cyclus.

Yes, I answered this on your other thread.

It's a Cyclus americanus.
