A Stripe-winged Dronefly (*Eristalis horticola*) is seen perched on a vibrant purple knapweed flower. The fly, exhibiting clear striped wings and a furry body, feeds on the flower's nectar. The backdrop is a smooth, blurred green, highlighting the detailed interaction between the insect and the blossom. This moment captures the mutualism in nature, where the fly aids in pollination while gathering nourishment. The setting and subject indicate a late summer or early autumn scene.
