Remembering When Marilyn Monroe Won Miss Mississippi
SUMMARY: The film “We're Not Married” may not have been filmed in Mississippi, but it takes place in the state and features Marilyn Monroe as Miss Senatobia.

The film is a romantic comedy about a Justice of the Peace who mistakenly marries couples, leading to a scandal when it comes to light. Despite this setback, Monroe's character enters the Miss Mississippi contest as Miss Senatobia and ultimately wins the title.

Spiders Looking Like Ants | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Batesian mimicry is when an insect or spider imitates the appearance or behavior of a more aggressive creature to deter predators. Ants are often avoided by predators, so many species of spiders have evolved to look and act like ants. These ant-mimicking spiders benefit from their resemblance to ants. The transformation of spiders to imitate ants is fascinating, as spiders have different body segments, legs, and no antennae, while ants have distinct body segments, legs, and antennae. Some ant-mimicking spiders go to extreme measures, such as creating a false waste or simulating the head of ants. Some species can even mimic the odors and behaviors of ants to hunt them as prey. So, if you see something that resembles an ant but not quite, it could be an ant-mimicking spider.
