The Jewel Wasp or Emerald cockroach wasp (Ampulex compressa) is a solitary wasp of the family Ampulicidae. It is known for its unusual reproductive behaviour, which involves stinging a cockroach and using it as a host for its larvae. The wasp injects venom directly into the cockroach's two specific spots in the brain, zombifying it to control its behaviour and dragging the victim into the den, then feeding its live tissues to her babies. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on july19, 2022.

Protesters deliver a petition for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment during a rally and march on January 27, 2022, in Washington, DC. Protesters demanded the the deadline for ratification by the states (an unusual condition for a proposed amendment) be removed and the ERA ratified, and delivered a petition to Attorney General Merrick Garland, calling on him to take the next step in the ratification process. The ERA would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender in the US Constitution, meaning it would no longer be subject to judicial review of legislation. The rally marks the second anniversary of Virginia’s ratification of the ERA in 2020, reaching the necessary 38 states for ratification of the Amendment.
