I did not manage to get a photo of this teeny-tiny moth because it wouldn't land and hold still long enough, but after browsing nearby sightings and comparing photos/descriptions, I'm pretty sure Psychomorpha epimenis is what I saw. Just wanted to make a casual observation for my own records and documentation.

I was very happy to find a few trilliums in the woods even though they haven't quite bloomed yet. The ID algorithm has suggested T. sessile and T. recurvatum, and I'm not sure how to tell them apart before the flowers open. The cluster of three large leaves was about 4 inches across.

This bitty fly (less than 1 cm long) seemed to be attracted to the forsythia blossoms. The ID algorithm has suggested genus Scathophaga.
