The Elk Thistle (Cirsium eatonii) is a thistle native to Jackson Hole in Wyoming. As its name implies, elk feed on this plant. It is also called Everts Thistle after Truman Everts, a member of the 1870 Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition, who explored the area that later became Yellowstone National Park. Everts became lost and survived for a month by eating the elk thistle. This elk thistle in bloom was photographed at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming, USA.

The Bee Beetle (Trichius fasciatus) is a striking member of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae), often mistaken for a bumblebee due to its dense yellow-orange hairs and bold black bands on the elytra. This mimicry helps deter predators. It’s commonly found in Europe during summer, especially on thistles and other wildflowers where it feeds on pollen and nectar. The larvae typically develop in decaying wood, playing an important role in nutrient cycling. Despite their bumblebee disguise, bee beetles are harmless and contribute to pollination in their habitats.
