  • If a stink bug can ever be called "pretty" then this is probably one of the only candidates. This significantly troublesome agricultural pest attacks young tender shoots and leaves of many of our crop plants by puncturing these parts with a straw-like mouthpart and drinking the nutritious juices out of the plant, often causing injury or opening it up for diseases. When it feels threatened, it emits a terrible odor which gives the stink bug its name. This one was found near an apple orchard and wine vineyard just outside of Yakima, Washington.

  • Possibly one of the most common wildflowers in the Northern Hemisphere, the aptly named common yarrow is found in all of North America (excluding some Caribbean islands), and much of Europe and Asia. It has been used for centuries and perhaps millennia as an herbal medicine for stopping blood flow from wounds and nosebleeds. It is found from low to high elevations, and from very wet to very dry locations throughout its range, making it perfectly adapted for life from the Arctic to all but the hottest and driest of deserts.
