Milkweed Assassin Bugs are Great Hunters and Pest Controllers

Milkweed Assassin Bugs are Great Hunters and Pest Controllers features a milkweed assassin bug that was found hunting in a patch of tickseed flowers. It describes the bug’s range, diet, hunting styles, and the author/artist’s feelings about the bug.

Searching Inside I really love the abundance of tickseed flowers that we have all over the place right now. Not only are the flowers themselves really pretty, but the pollinators adore them. So if I want to see and photograph bees, wasps, butterflies, and heaven knows what else, all I have to do is find a patch of these flowers. The other day I stopped at a bunch of them and as well as…

Still one of my favorites. A bug that made me realize what a crazy tiny world was out there that I knew so little about.

golden

characters: marcus pike x you rating: e (oral f receiving, sex summarized. not that spicy tbh but still if you're under 18 please shoo) summary: set in 1960s. you're an actress in a relationship with Hollywood's biggest film star. this has no plot, just soft smut and feels. lol

i have been reading too much taylor jenkins reid, please enjoy

1964.

It's a sullen awards season if you're being honest. The country is still reeling from the assassination of its chief diplomat. Hollywood has taken a somewhat somber and patriotic turn, and you're not sure how quickly you can keep up with it all.

And still, you are Hollywood's brave girl. You need to sport a brave face.

This is your second time attending the Academy Awards. Your dress is long and as blue and dark as midnight. When confronted by your stylist, your initial choice had been a bold and sweeping red gown, but your publicist warned you against a provocative decision.

Your eyeliner is winged and subtle, lips soft and pink, and when your date arrives in '62 Crown Imperial, he is rendered breathless. 

He wins for Lovers Lost in Paris, of course. Even a film set in France has somehow shoehorned in all the makings of a patriotic romance; two Americans having met in the City of Lights only to fall desperately in love and reconnect decades later after having returned to the States some time ago.

It's not an unexpected win, though perhaps ironic, considering you know his birth-given name is Marcos Pereira, not Marcus Pike.

You’ve murmured his name—his real name—when he’s fucked you after long shoots and scheduled photo ops and publicity dinners. It always sounds so pretty, the authentic use of it, the rawness of it, the believability that a woman could honestly and earnestly love a man with a name Hollywood had discarded decades ago.

Still, you’re under no illusion that this relationship hasn’t been manufactured by the film industry itself. Your agents have agreed—it’s beneficial for you both to be seen together. Even if you’re not the leading actress in Lovers, you’re about one film away from being an undisputed leading lady. And more importantly, being photographed with one of Hollywood’s biggest actors is mutually beneficial. It boosts your name recognition, further guaranteeing your spot in a leading role, and it’d also built the momentum toward Lovers’ release. Once audiences knew you and the Marcus Pike were dating, they rushed to the box office in droves.

And you won’t lie—name recognition is nice. Auditions are rolling in. Money is better. But this newfound connection with Marcus is what fills your cup. Some mornings when you wake up in his arms, you wonder if you’d give it up to spend the rest of your life in that exact moment, untouched and unbothered.

Most of the time, you say yes.

The Academy afterparties have started, but you and Marcus have opted to return to your hotel. You kick your heels off before the door to your room has even closed. Marcus offers to rub your feet, and you politely turn him down. You order room service instead and open a bottle of wine.

"You were brilliant up there," you say, your weary feet resting upon a silk pillow at the edge of the bed. He's poured you each a glass of Chardonnay and you share a cigarette. You'd much rather take advantage of a quiet night in rather than the boisterous scandal of a typical afterparty.

"Now, who paid you to say that?" He teases. "With the number of mics thrown in your face tonight, I'd be surprised if someone didn't bug this place."

You smile sheepishly and nod, rolling your eyes slightly at the comment. "I was hardly interviewed," you protest. "It was you everyone was after."

While Marcus Pike is embarking on his third decade in film, you are a relative newcomer. Your role in Lovers was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, but you lost to your costar. It was a bit of a blow to your evergrowing ego, but Marcus had reminded you that the film that earned you an Oscar had yet to be filmed. It's out there for you. I just know it, beautiful.

"I don't think that's true," he replies back, lips curving into a slight smirk. “But if they were, I didn’t notice.” He sits behind you on the bed, a gentle grip along your shoulders while his lips press a tender kiss along your neck.

“I wonder why,” you say, soft and knowing. You shiver as you lick your lips and inhale sharply. Marcus Pike always makes you shiver.

His lips trail toward your chin, your jawline, until they’re resting upon yours while he lays you down. He takes you apart so perfectly, so beautifully because he knows what makes you fall apart beneath his broad hands and thick fingers. He knows to take your dress off and pull your panties toward your ankles before he dives into your slick, tasting you until you repeat his name on your pink-smudged lips. Marcos. Marcos. Marcos.

You swear to the heavens that this is the moment you realize you’ve fallen in love. You love his kindness, his sweet smile, his willingness to drop his own damn trophy to massage your feet the moment you step foot into your room. You love that he orders pancakes at two in the morning and tips the bellman extra for troubling him at such a ridiculous hour. You love his work ethic, his commitment to his craft, his willingness to accept feedback rather than spit in the face of those who offer it. He hasn’t been hardened by Hollywood, not yet, not when these movers and shakers have given him reasons to.

And because he hasn’t, you haven’t, either. You know the circumstances are different for you—you’re a younger woman, you’re a woman; there are expectations put upon you that Marcus Pike and men like him don’t have to reckon with. But he is willing to help you overcome them.

You love that about him too.

“Hm?”

Marcus comes up from between your legs, eyes as wide as dinner plates. Your eyes had been practically closed, chest rising and falling with every sweet breath, until you realize he’s looking at you like that—why is he looking at you like that?

“Wh—what’s wrong?” You stammer, trying to compose yourself. You must look ridiculous—your hair a mess, your lipstick feathering along your lipline. Your dress is a messy blue heap at the floor, and even though Marucs himself looks disheveled, too—hair mussed, shirt wrinkled, bowtie undone and hanging loosely around his neck—you barely notice. If anything, it only furthers his charm.

“Nothing,” he replies, too quickly. “Nothing at all. It’s just—you said—”

“What?” You interrupt. You’re immediately alert now, your drooping eyes now open while your lips purse. You’d been in such a fucking trance, on the brink of an orgasm, until Marcus pulled away so abruptly that it took a few extra minutes to realize he hadn’t been down there anymore. And now you’re wondering what you’ve said in your sexually charged haze. “What did I say?”

“Baby,” he breathes after a beat, and then he kisses you. He murmurs something against your lips and it’s only then you realize you’ve confessed, unknowingly. You told The Marcus Pike that you loved him, and against all odds, he’s saying it back to you.

He says it back in Spanish, once, twice, again. Again. He says it between kisses at your chin and along your neck and your collarbones.

Te amo, hermosa. Te amo.

 You help him unclasp your bra, and he says it again in English between kisses at your breasts.

“I didn’t even realize—” you choke out, and you’d be mildly horrified you’ve told this man you love him if the feelings hadn’t been so plainly reciprocated. Your heart squeezes, your body thrumming beneath each confession he offers without hesitation, and the love you make is soft yet beautiful.

You’re eating what’s left of the pancakes, back resting against the headboard, and it’s like a new light has been ignited between you. By this point, you’re both exposed to the yellow glow of the bedside lamp. Marcus can’t stop smiling.

“What is it?” You ask him, nervousness settling in your belly. “You keep looking at me like that—why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because,” he shrugs. “I’m the crazy son of a bitch that planned on proposing to you tonight.”

And now it’s your turn for shock. Your fork hits the porcelain plate that you nearly drop in the pristine white bedsheets. He catches it and you can feel the warmth of his palm radiating against the back of your hand.

“Y—you were going to do what?” You hate how mousy you suddenly sound. You are not the confident actress that had just been nominated for an Academy Award.

Marcus actually laughs, a palm scrubbing his face. “Yeah, I know. It sounds crazy, but…hear me out on this. I’ve never met anyone that makes me feel the way you do. I know it’s too soon, but life is short, and I don’t want to spend another minute of it without—wait.”

He leans over the side of the bed, pulling his suit jacket from where it hangs on the back of a chair. “I couldn’t bring the box with me. You could see it in the pocket and it just was…obvious.”

He slips his hand into the interior pocket of his suit jacket, and butterflies fill your stomach when you see a round-cut jewel sitting atop a golden band. He presents it to you flat in his palm with a sheepish smile. “This is it,” he offers, simply and suddenly it feels like an allegory for his heart. He is giving you something subtle and beautiful in the hopes you’ll accept and wear it proudly.

“Marcos,” you murmur, and you kiss him.

The next day, the photographers have a field day with you.
