fotojournalismus: Maya Ixil women, including Guatemala’s civil war survivor Maria Raymundo (C), celebrate after listening the sentence given to former Guatemalan de facto President, retired General Jose Efrain Rios Montt, 86, for crimes committed during his regime, in Guatemala City on May 10, 2013. Rios Montt was found guilty of genocide and war crimes on Friday in a landmark ruling stemming from massacres of indigenous people in his country’s long civil war. Rios Montt thus became the first Latin American convicted of trying to exterminate an entire group of people in a brief but particularly gruesome stretch of a war that started in 1960, lasted 36 years and left around 200,000 people dead or missing.

amnhnyc: Most moth species are very small and are active only at night, so we don’t often get to examine them up close. But in our current photo exhibition Winged Tapestries: Moths at Large, you can pore over the insects in glorious detail. Banded tussock moth © Jim des Rivières
