The Decline of Blue. Cichorium intybus, Common Chicory, Océ-weerd, Meuse Corridor, Venlo, The Netherlands

It's Autumn. But the Blue of Cichory still dots the fields of the Océ-weerd though diminishing. Here and there some Buttercups but this Marmalade Hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus, apparently favors the nutrients of Chicory pollen...

Judging by its clear colorings and the sharp delineation of its wings it's in its prime!
