Had assumed this was a gall midge or wasp, but iNat suggested a gall-forming mite, so I suppose that’s in the running too. Host plant is American elm, Ulmus americana.

Mostly just trying to determine if this is a native cherry species, but I have a feeling it’s probably not. Definitely not black cherry, anyway. Likely sweet cherry?

Some type of aster. A volunteer in a crack of pavers in the back yard. Just curious if it’s a native or not.
