Resembles a thistle blossom and a rather large pink speckled fly.

i believe it’s a six-spot burnet, a day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae.

I have never seen a fly that looked so pretty before. Lovely shot.

Cool photo, and thank you for the taxonomic information on the moth, too, Plaridel. Who knew some moths were so colorful?

It’s a really pretty moth, I love the iridescent aqua wings, and the spots make it even more colorful! I have more pretty moths in my garden than butterflies.
