Smallpox dead toll was very very much higher compared to many wars included World War I and II combined.
Thank you to doctor Edward Jenner for his great work to find smallpox vaccine in England in 1796.

Zinnia flowers are attractive for many pollinators include butterfly, hummingbird and bees.
However, we always see swallowtail butterfly around Zinnia flowers than other pollinators during late Spring to Summer seasons.
The swallowtail butterfly have 560 species worldwide, but seven only in our state, Louisiana, they are: Black Swallowtail, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Polydamas Swallowtail, Pipevine Swallowtail, Spicebush Swallowtail, Giant Swallowtail and Zebra Swallowtail.
The reasons that Swallowtail butterflies love zinnia flowers are:
1) Butterfly easy to spot Zinnias due to their large and bright colors.
2) The flowers have a lot of nectar
3) Zinnias have a long tube-shaped corolla that is excellent for butterflies proboscises.
