Devils-Bit Scabius with unidentified insect I saw this walking our dog yesterday - I was so intent on photographing the flower that I didn't even notice the bee(?) until I looked at the picture. The identification is my best guess, but if anyone has a better idea - feel free to suggest it. Geotagged,Germany,Succisa pratensis,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
