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!

Anticlea elegans the Mountain Death Camas, or the elegant Camas. This poisonous plant is stronger than strychnine.
It's all over the western US and Canada outside of California. It can be mistaken for edible bulbs or onions and it can cause heart rhythm problems and convulsions. So steer clear!
