It is a northern Great Lakes endemic, confined to the undisturbed shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada. It is considered to be Threatened at the Federal level, and is the state wildflower of Michigan.
It prefers limy, gravelly, old lake beach ridges, especially associated with white cedars.

The Stinger can stand still in space or in air and perform tactical "surgery" but also be qucik, agile and deadly.

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on
Sept. 25, 2004, at a distance of 7.8 million kilometers (4.8 million
miles) from Saturn through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared
light centered at 727 nanometers. The image scale is 46 kilometers (29
miles) per pixel.
