poppy hover fly

This is a macro photograph taken in the morning during the summer season. The image prominently features a poppy hover fly positioned on the vibrant red petals of a poppy flower. Both plants and insects are captured in detail, with the hover fly resting near the center of the flower while pollen and floral structures are clearly visible. The background consists of green foliage, which is softly blurred, highlighting the flower and the insect in the foreground. Hover flies, along with poppies and other flowers present in the frame, demonstrate the interaction between plants and insects typical of summer mornings.
