A mother and her four pups (5 total). were foraging. When they sensed me, the mother faced here butt at me with her tail raise and the little ones copied her (I was not sprayed) Then they cautiously and slowly went into the bushes.

This photo lost some quality in scanning from an old slide. It shows a wild-born bird. The species is now extinct in the wild.

Small intricate cocoon (and pupa?) of some sort of moth critter.
Spotted in the Cypress Creek Nature Preserve (off Livingston ave.) near Tampa, Fl. on Feb. 15th, 2019 at 4:58p.m.
Maybe a member of family Urodidae, judging by the cocoon appearance. (1)(a member of the family found in Florida and southeast U.S.A., see images of cocoon)
one source says open mesh cocoons such as this appear in rainforest environments to allow drainage to the cocoon so the pupa doesn't drown inside (2).

This is an image of, what I believe to be,Phereoeca uterella. This image was taken at my home on a wood fence that my dad recently built. I commonly hear the term "plaster worm" in association to these species.
This is not a cultivated specimen because this organism was not intended to grow on the fence. The weather was very hot and humid.

Not sure if this actually is a gall (the ID tool only tried to id the flower), but I thought I'd post it as such to see. Wooded Island/Bobolink Meadow area.
