Sharp & Soft: Nature in Conflict... 🌿🐝

When the sharp, silvery armor of the Sea Holly (Eryngium maritimum) meets warm colors and life, pure magic happens. Perched calmly on this purple 'pillow' is a Golden-shafted Digger Wasp (Sphex funerarius).

This photo reminds me how complex nature is — full of spines and protection, yet so fragile and welcoming to life. Sometimes beauty lies exactly in that contrast.
