Devil's Work
Devil's Tower, originally uploaded by julesberry2001.
Animist religions worship everything, but the temple-ish look of this bit of geology makes it is easy to understand why it is thought special by the American Indians.

The swallowtail butterflies seemed to be at it on one peak, and on another a swarm of massive ladybirds (~1cm) were doing their thing.
