A pretty flower with a fearsome name: Death Camas.
Toxicoscordion venenosum (aka Zigadenus venenosus) is toxic, even to most insects. The copper-winged bee perched on top is a Death Camas Miner Bee (Andrena astragali), which feeds almost exclusively on #DeathCamas and is able to survive the experience!
