Lots going on here: that’s a male Pennsylvania ambush bug (Phymata pennsylvanica) riding piggyback on a larger female to block other males. Meanwhile, she’s caught a honeybee (invasive to North America!) while hiding in a blunt mountain mint (Pycnanthemum muticum) flower

Swamp rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) is one of the largest flowers native to North America (basically the eastern two thirds of the continent and then some.) An absolute stunner irl

‘the environmental catastrophe that we ignored is coming true’
to
‘the real problem is we don’t have air conditioning’

According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56.
Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage.
