    1. Hah, I had the same thought! Sorry to spoil it, but I do believe the flowers in this background are similar in color, but larger. Posted 7 years ago
    2. It's instead the flower of the NEXT observation :)

"Coreus marginatus", commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels.
