Apiomerus flaviventris, a bee assassin bug, is an insect that feeds on bees. It is found in arid and semiarid southwestern North America. This bee assassin is known to extract plant resins and apply them as defensive chemicals to its eggs, protecting the eggs from predation, especially by ants, but possibly also other species. Females of A. flaviventris collect resin from brittlebush, Encelia farinosa Gray ex Torr. (Asteraceae).

Bucculatrix enceliae is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. The species was described in 1963 by Annette Frances Braun. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California and Arizona.
Creosote bush scrub is a North American desert vegetation type of sparsely but evenly spaced desert plants dominated by creosote bush and its associates. Its visual characterization is of widely spaced shrubs that are somewhat evenly distributed over flat or relatively flat desert areas that receive between 2 and 8 inches of rain each year. It covers the majority of the flat desert floor and relatively flat alluvial fans in the Mojave Desert, Chihuahuan Desert, and Sonoran Desert. The dominant plants that typify this vegetation type are creosote bush and its associates, white bur-sage, brittlebush, cheese-bush, Mojave yucca, silver cholla cactus, and beavertail cactus. Creosote bush has a wider range than its associates, so codominant shrubs, which are associated with more narrow ranges, will vary from region to region.
Encelia nutans, called noddinghead, or nodding sunray, is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It has been found only in Utah and Colorado in the western United States.
Encelia scaposa, common name onehead brittlebush is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It has been found in western Texas, southwestern New Mexico, and Chihuahua.
